Sgt. Rigoberto Vasquez says he's faced retaliation for reporting a fellow officer after they allegedly used a racial slur to describe a Latino Captain's family.
Sgt. Rigoberto Vasquez is the officer in charge of the Foothill Division vice unit. His Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit was filed on Friday and seeks unspecified damages. A spokesman for the City Attorney's Office could not be immediately reached for comment.
Hurtado filed an internal complaint against Smith last August regarding the captain's alleged remark and the next month the plaintiff was interviewed by Internal Affairs about what he had heard, according to the suit.VIDEO: 6 LASD deputies accused of using excessive force on inmate arrested for non-violent crime
Smith also was upset with Vasquez for his interview with Internal Affairs, the suit states. When Vasquez replied that he had an obligation to tell the truth, Smith "threateningly" told the plaintiff that he did not have to say he remembered Smith making the "wetback" comment, the suit states.
