Los Angeles Sheriff&rsquo;s Department deputies severely beat Joseph Perez in 2020, then arrested him. His mom Vanessa alleges that she had previously told law enforcement that Perez has a serious mental illness and would need to be placed in a psychiatric facility. Mother and son believe the deputies used unnecessary force on Perez and are the center of an ongoing legal battle, attempting to hold the sheriff&rsquo;s department accountable for its actions. <a href="https://laist.com/news/criminal-justice/perez-la-sheriff-watchdog-records">LAist Mental Health and Wellbeing Reporter Robert Garrova shares more about the case</a> and discusses efforts for transparency around investigations into allegations of excessive use of force.
