Veteran Jonathan Montano was brutally beaten to death by VA police in Loma Linda, CA for trying to leave the hospital after waiting 4 hours with a needle in his arm.
His widow recently filed suit. The couple had been married for 44 years.
“The summoned VA Police Department police officers then stopped Jonathan Montano from leaving the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, by tackling him to the floor, slamming his head on the floor, and kneeing and stomping on his neck, and otherwise brutalizing and restraining him,” the lawsuit said.

Have you seen the face of the Ferguson police officer, Bruce? Brown was a thug. No policemen in my family, but I think you should take into consideration the thousands of policemen and women in the U.S. who protect us from people like Brown. It is oftimes mentioned there are only 3 black policemen in Ferguson. Could it have to do with there aren’t any black applicants or if there are, they can’t meet the qualifications?
WHAT????
To Tom cullivan. I can’t say but if they were rent a cops then it only supports what I have said about Ca giving them too much power.
Why isn’t that cop in jail for assault and murder?
“DEATH PENALTY”…….period
and the cover ups of the VA were by and large due to the Inspector Generals office of the VA. Firing the former Secretary of the VA wasn’t the answer, many veterans told their elected officials for years of the abuses occurring within the VA Health Care System and those elected officials basically handed these legitimate complaints to lower staff members to handle and yet the abuses still continued and to this day continue. I am one of those on the VA hit list and the abuses are far too numerous to list. Veterans will continue to be in peril until such time that somebody takes a moment and speaks directly to veterans on how to effectively address theses issues. Politicians can mess up a wet dream and we entrust them to fix things?
Wtf
What is this world coming to?
Disgraceful and sad.
This is outrageous – but will anything be done or is our wonderful president going to say anything since it was not a racial problem – we need to fire everybody in our government including local mayors and police chiefs on up to the president
