California city pays 750,000 USD for police officers painting swastika inside suspect's car


LOS ANGELES, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Torrance, a city located some 30 kilometers south of Los Angeles, California, paid 750,000 U.S. dollars after two police officers allegedly spray-painted a swastika inside a suspect's car three years ago.

According to a report of Fox News Tuesday, the payout settled a federal lawsuit filed by Kiley Swaine, who discovered the swastika on his car's back seat after he and two other men were arrested on suspicion of mail theft in January 2020. Swaine was later cleared of the mail charges.
