A protester who is suing the city of Los Angeles and several LAPD
officers after being shot and badly wounded by a police projectile
during a major protest in the city this summer has been charged with
assault in the same incident.
Bradley Steyn, 49, was charged with
assaulting an officer and resisting or obstructing an officer in a
misdemeanor complaint filed in California Superior Court by City Atty.
Mike Feuer’s office Monday, court records show.
The complaint alleges
Steyn “willfully and unlawfully [used] force and violence” against an
LAPD officer — identified only as Officer K. Clark — during a protest in
the Fairfax district on May 30. .
Police and their supporters pointed
to the incident as an example of the violence that police face during
such events, and have suggested that Steyn’s allegedly kicking the
officer gave the second officer cause to see him as a threat and to
shoot him.
