Appellee Rodriguez filed a declaration recounting that he
was housed on the third floor of the jail, where some of the
beatings and tasings had taken place. He stated that guards
on that floor had developed a “gang-like culture” that
included intimidation and retaliation for filing grievances. He
submitted an article published in the Los Angeles Times
reporting that the LASD had initiated termination
proceedings against six third-floor deputies, who were part of
what officials had described as an “aggressive group,” and a
“clique” with “certain gang-like characteristics.” Using
public records, the Times had confirmed that third-floor
deputies had been involved in many more use-of-force
incidents against prisoners than deputies on other floors.
