A Cal State University officer is under investigation after pulling his gun on a fellow officer at the San Bernardino campus over its mask policy.
The alleged incident happened on campus on September 15. Surveillance video shows four police officers standing around having a conversation, then shows one of the officers pulling out his gun and pointing it at another officer for approximately one second.
The officer who had the gun pointed at him decided to retained an attorney, filed an internal complaint against his sergeant, and filed a report with San Bernardino police. The lawyer, Tristan Pelayes explains, “Everybody had just gotten to work, and the sergeant in question was telling my client that the officers needed to enforce the (COVID-19) mask requirement on campus. My client questioned the authority for that. For instance, if we were to arrest somebody or escort somebody off the campus, what is our legal authority for that? Apparently, that conversation led to the sergeant losing his temper, and ultimately pulling a gun on my client.”
