Summary The Pasadena Weekly investigates the excessive use of force by the police while arrested three teens engaged in a street brawl. The investigation reveals stark contradictions between police reports and eye witness accounts. Also, the eight police reports do not match with each other. For example, one of the arrested teens was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon although there was no sign of a weapon at the scene or mentioned in any of the police reports.
