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.

Why are they attacking our veterans?. The treatment they are given under this administration has been deplorable. if anyone deserves care and help from this country , they do. They have fought to protect us and some have been hurt in wars since wwll. most of our vets from that era have passed away by now but many are still with us. This is one of the reasons we should have a new commander in chief that has some military training and back ground and respects our Military.
VA at its finest. I just got a notice from VA that my claim for service connected disability 30 yrs ago for missing a appointment I didn’t even get notified I had ??!? I have submitted for agent orange disability twice. the first one got ”purged” / lost 5 yrs ago never notified way or how resubmitted this year and I get the letter stating if I resubmit all claims will be denied ??
Inexcusable

The VA police involved should be arrested, tried and imprisoned. This poor, poor man.
Why shouldn’t he be able to leave if he wants?
What a shame!
