There's no doubt ... Brian Mulligan -- an international banking honcho -- was beaten to a pulp by the LAPD -- based on photos obtained by TMZ.
Mulligan -- the Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Media for Deutsche Bank -- is unrecognizable in the pics -- with severe nasal fractures and lacerations, a concussion, a fractured right scapula, and numerous contusions and abrasions.
Although the LAPD claims officers beat and arrested Mulligan after he became violent and threatening ... prosecutors declined to file charges. Our sources say prosecutors believe the photos are "clear evidence of excessive force." Indeed, Mulligan already filed a $50 million claim against the City of L.A.
TMZ first reported, Mulligan claims two LAPD cops beat him senseless after wrongfully detaining him ... claiming he resembled a person suspected of attempted car theft. Mulligan claims the officers took him to a hotel against his will and when he tried to leave officers brutally attacked him.
Mulligan's lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan and Valerie Wass, tell TMZ cops at the scene conceded Mulligan was NOT under the influence of drugs and they described him as “calm, lucid, and cooperative." They tell TMZ, "Mulligan had committed no violations of law and was not arrested. No drugs were found during a search of his person or his vehicle, and the officers found absolutely no evidence of drug use by Mulligan."
Flanagan and Wass say cops also engaged in a cover up, telling us, "The two officers who inflicted the injuries on Mulligan subsequently concocted a police report in an attempt to justify their use of excessive and deadly force and to obtain a filing of criminal charges against Mulligan."
They took him to a motel because he was sleepy? To a Motel Nite Stix? “We’ll put your lights out for you”? Free facial massage included when you sleep on our Beauty Arrest bunk?
Where is the source for this information? The only other link I can see for this besides the TMZ link is a story on Bloomberg where the victim’s lawyer is patently denying “bath salts.” No mention of fast food, behavior or confessions by the victim....
it’s on the internet in various stories. CBS got a copy of the police report.
Okay....was this fast-food thing related to the later reports the LEOs were looking for a perp that looked like him? Somehow, I’m inclined to believe these two concocted the connection. It is the way they work.
Is there no Free Press in LA ?
......this happened near a medical marijuana dispensary.

I saw that when this story broke ,, I understand you could say that about huge portions of L.A. ,, I see that as irrelevant unless the cops thought he was the banker or carrying cash for a dispensary. “we took him to a hotel and babysat him to make sure he was OK” just doesn’t work as a viable alibi.
