The Los Angeles LGBT Center is calling for the immediate suspension of Joseph Benza.

“What is so troubling about this situation is that this officer was cleared of wrongdoing, and without this video footage being released, this violent encounter would likely have been swept under the rug. Our community — and the people of Los Angeles — deserve better.” —Joe Hollendoner, CEO of the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
