The City of Long Beach has agreed to pay $300,000 to a man who sued, alleging he was threatened, beaten and detained by police officers over an expired car registration in 2022. In a lawsuit filed in October, Johnny Jackson says he had just gotten out of the hospital after getting surgery to treat prostate cancer and had driven to Staples to make a copy of a doctor’s note for his employer when police pulled him over on the way back to his Long Beach home.
