PINAC News/Grant Stern 16-year-old Los Angeles teen Christian Aguilar got beat up by three Pomona Police officers at the county fair for recording his father's arrest.

Three California cops were caught on camera in a one minute video (seen below) giving a 16-year old a devastating beating, cracking his legs with a baton and threatening the young man with a taser. Three Pomona Police officers beat teenager Christian Aguilar into submission at the Los Angeles County Fair when he recorded them arresting his family.

Now the teenager and his family are suing six named cops and the Pomona Police Department, and the City of Pomona and Los Angeles County for a seven part civil rights claim which you can see below.

His only crime: recording the police.

Then, Pomona Police officers arrested Robert Hansen, the man who recorded them beating the teenager too. They illegally seized and searched Hanson's phone.

And charged him with bogus offenses.

Finally, California cops tried to cover their tracks, and maliciously prosecuted everyone involved. All charges were dropped against the teen, and his family.

"In the criminal trial, after watching the officers' explanations of the discrepancies between the full video and their police reports unravel during cross examination," says family lawyer David Gammill, of the Los Angeles based Geragos Law Firm, and that, "The judge dismissed Christian's criminal case before the defense ever had to call a single witness."

After all of that hard work, the Pomona Police delivered a coup de main: they edited Robert Hanson's video of the arrest of Christian Aguilar and gave the video to the Los Angeles District Attorney's office.

All of the officers lied in their official reports too.

They only charged the teenager Aguilar with resisting arrest, which itself isn't a crime if there is no criminal accusation against a person, and the Los Angeles Sheriff's department kept him housed in the adult population despite his protestation of juvenile status.
