El Paso, Texas
In the last two years, the city has paid out almost $600,000 from lawsuits against the police department. One lawsuit involves an elderly man who says he was beaten by an undercover police officer. The city agreed to pay him $15,000.
The man who says he was beat up is now almost 81 years old. He says the officer, Joshua Cass, who's six feet, three inches tall, and weighs in at 270 pounds, beat him until he was unconscious. When the man woke up he was in handcuffs.
The lawsuit says in his three years on the force, Officer Cass had twelve internal affairs complaints filed against him, several for excessive force.
