Cop Raids Black Man's Beach Cabana Without Warrant — He's State Senator, Wins $29.4M Lawsuit

Описание: A Black family rented a $850 beach cabana in Malibu to celebrate their daughter's 16th birthday. They had a receipt. They had ID. They had done absolutely nothing wrong. Officer Derek Paulson didn't care — and in 30 minutes, he destroyed his 14-year career.
What Paulson didn't know: the man he was harassing at that cabana was State Senator Marcus Williams — a three-term California legislator, former ACLU civil rights attorney, and the man who literally wrote California's police accountability laws. He had spent 12 years winning $87 million in settlements against police departments just like this one.
