“Los Angeles police officers bought and sold guns from the police armory for profit, and told the lieutenant in charge of the armory to ‘watch his back’ after he reported it, the 25-year LAPD veteran claims in court. Armando Perez sued the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Police Department in Superior Court. Perez, who joined the LAPD in 1987, claims he was retaliated against, suspended and threatened after he discovered, through his job as ‘Officer in Charge of the Armory,’ that officers in the Metropolitan Division were buying and reselling guns to other officers, civilians and gun dealers.”
