Santa Ana Police Investigate Officers Actions In Pot Shop Raid

Santa Ana, CA - The Santa Ana Police Department has launched an internal affairs investigation into the actions of several officers caught on video during a recent raid at a medical marijuana dispensary. Clips from the May 26 raid at Sky High Collective that purport to show officers dismantling surveillance cameras, making derogatory remarks about an amputee, eating and playing darts are "concerning," Santa Ana police Cmdr. Chris Revere said Thursday. "We expect our officers to act in a certain way," said Revere, who is in charge of the department's internal affair division. "If they don't we hold them accountable. But at the same time we have to be fair." Attorney Matthew Pappas, who represents Sky High Collective, provided the edited clips to the Register and other media outlets Wednesday. He could not be reached Thursday for comment.
