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.

There has to be more to this. Leaving hospital AMA is unwise at worst. I’ve never heard of anyone being physically restrained from doing so, unless the patient was in custody. Stomping him to death is, of course inexcusable.

This type of action taken on a Vet is without a doubt the most horrendous act an officer could possibly do. That officer needs to be brought up on abuse charges at the very least, but should be arrested and held without bail until the case is settled.
