L.A. County Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff said police department officials denied the former officer, Natalie Stringer, her right to respond to allegations prior to a disciplinary meeting, but the city did not violate labor laws and acted within its rights when she was terminated based on her 'failure to comply with a valid condition of employment.'
In moving to quickly terminate the officers, he said, the LAPD 'trampled' on their due process rights. 'If that's allowed, they could be told to do anything down the road. And I don't think anyone wants a police department that has that unblinking compliance.'
