MARTINEZ – More than a dozen activists and family members of those who have died in police custody demonstrated outside of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office in Martinez on Tuesday morning, calling on Sheriff David Livingston to resign., who received a six-year-prison sentence after being convicted of assault with a firearm in the 2018 killing of unarmed motorist Laudemer Arboleda in Danville.Trump White House Call Log Turned Over to House Shows 7-Hour Gap During Jan.
The county has paid a total of $9.4 million in settlement money to both families, even though the second killing is still being investigated. Hall was only involved at the very end, when he pulled in front of Arboleda at the corner of Front and Diablo streets. He exited his car and stood near the Honda’s front right side. As Arboleda tried pulling away, Hall discharged his weapon 10 times, hitting Arboleda with nine bullets. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Livingston responded in an email, saying “The so-called ‘Prosecutors Alliance’ committee is made up of only four of the 58 DAs in the state. Contra Costa is not San Francisco or Los Angeles where two of their far-leftwing founding members serve. Instead of playing politics here, they should do their job and prosecute offenders and start caring about crime victims for once.”
