Contradicting statements by LAPD Chief Michel Moore, the attorney representing the family of an officer fatally injured during a training exercise says he has evidence that the man’s injuries included a head wound.
The allegation of such injuries was
filed by Gage on behalf of Tipping’s mother. It alleges her son was involved in an exercise that simulated a “mob” and that he was “repeatedly struck in the head severely enough that he bled.”Tipping, 32, died May 29, three days after suffering a spinal cord injury during a training exercise at the Police Academy in Elysian Park. Moore has said Tipping, a five-year veteran of the LAPD, was working as a bike instructor in a scenario that involved “grappling” with another officer.
“Officer Tipping did not sustain any laceration to the head, any cut or otherwise to his head, as a result of his fall to the ground when he and another officer fell to the ground,” Moore said.Gage said either the chief was lying or getting bad information from his subordinates. He said he does not believe that a fall explains Tipping's injuries.
“I cannot believe that these kinds of injuries were done by anything except an intentional act,” he said.Gage called on the District Attorney’s office to investigate Tipping’s death.. No other significant injuries are noted.
