in the Academy office once when officer Boggs one of the canine deputies made a comment that they didn't want any females in the canine detail that women didn't have the strength to handle a dog what did you mean when you told officer Boggs that he wasn't being smart to talk like that because it might come back to bite him that type of mentality and that attitude I thought was unacceptable I didn't think they should predetermine someone's ability to do a job just because of their gender it's not right why because you're going too fast too old I spent all night feels cheap when you rush it honey tapes got its fans nothing wrong with cheap can we change a routine once in a while why are you in such a free maybe I should go home then take off your clothes and give me a reason to stay I

conversation now in Sargent McCarthy tried to haven't spoken to Hera it spoke to the bartender he was over 50 feet away this isn't the first time the cops have gotten into a bar fight with each other I can't think of another example where an officer ended up at the wrong end of the gun let alone two officers Lucille you and ice has been taped it was a practical joke sergeant that's all are you in sergeant McCarthy romantically involved not anymore good thank you I don't believe I have any problem of sexual harassment in the Long Beach Police Department you don't have any I don't believe I have a problem on it if you say the Long Beach Police Department has a problem of sexual harassment I disagree come on sit there I am staying out of your way can't you leave me alone put this all behind us Herry [Music] would you slow down please I'd always stuck up for you you know I took a lot of heat because we're partners I tell the guys now now she's got a four-letter word not like the other females but I guess I was wrong all right I showed you a lot of respect and you don't even deserve it I made a mistake I know that but it's not like I've changed the only difference is now you know he's a sergeant and he's married I am still a good cop Brad and when you subsequently changed partners was that at your request yeah yes it was you have to understand something nobody wants to work with a female in roll call when the officers are assigned a female partner even just temporarily just for the shift the guys groan ah hell I'm stuck with a [ __ ] tonight Hey [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] it's a demonstration here I think and in an appreciation to just how effective these dogs can be in law enforcement if you don't break the law these dogs are your friend just waiting for you so I thank you for coming out here today and you have a safe trip [Applause] [Music] I felt that things would eventually work out if I worked hard and I proved myself to them that I could do the job that they would warm up and I would be accepted as a member what impression did you have of police work before you became a police officer it was very exciting it looked very rewarding it was challenging it was a physical job I thought the department looked like a very good place to work I loved being a cop all right what exactly happened I don't know some guy hit me in the head from white people I didn't do nothing where is it the last time I saw me was right there in the house [Applause] step out of the house please do it anybody else in there ever nothing about that house I'm just sure using the yard you don't know that it's a crack house what do you mean alright put the Box down [Applause] [Applause] 1.25 requesting assistance at North Long Beach projects this is dispatch 1.25 requesting officer assist 1.25 in twisting assistance at North Long Beach projects there's anyone copy [Music] one boy 25 looking for assist is there anybody on the radio okay [Applause] don't move feels good shut up one boy 25 cancel the assist suspect in custody and I'd like to extend a personal thanks to all the officers in my zone for their timely response to let get up we have a right to remain silent anything you say can and will be held against me I need the phone I'm using it go find another one do you see a suspect here I thought he was your boyfriend Jackson what the hell are you doing I have a suspect here you want a rag again Burt don't talk to me like that you guys short cycles yeah number four mr. pizza now look what you did come on that you use profanity to a superior officer that you called him name no sir I did not and if you care to interview the suspect who heard it all he'll tell you that the officer is lying now why would he do that Buerkle because he's a friend of Harry McCarthy's and McCarthy wants me out of the department he's been going around talking about me turning all the guys against me don't you think you're overreacting just a little it's not overreacting when I can't get an assist when I can't use a phone and I've got a suspect in custody when I key in on my radio and my transmissions are covered that's not paranoia sir that's happening okay I'm gonna refer this to internal affairs can't we do this without getting ia involved they'll just open a big investigation everybody's gonna know me they already do the guys are gonna think that I am trying to get Harry in trouble they're gonna take this out on me officer Burke I want the crap to stop can't you tell him to get off my back I just want to do my job that's why it has to be official that'll be all officer Buerkle thank you [Music] [Applause] Wow you uh got a minute nope well then I guess you know what's been happening huh you could show her a little respect as a fellow officer look it's a tight detail it always has been make room she's part of it maybe you could explain to her that in a sense she's being treated like another guy with the jokes and the razzing you know if people don't feel like they got to zip their mouth and the cold shoulder bit that's just who they are I don't get asked how much either maybe she'd be happier on another assignment and I'm supposed to talk to her she's having a hard time but that's not her fault is it hey I like Kathy [Music] incidents like the air being let out of my tires my windshield wipers being bent out of shape someone broke into my car at the station and left a sex toy on the front seat I was getting hang-up calls every night my time cars and my payroll cards began disappearing I felt like an outcast and I just I it was like these waves of hatred were just raining on me everywhere daddy boy good that's good okay sapphire Europe next on the muzzle attack

are we waiting for Kraske he's working another location tonight you want a decoy for search exercise how could you get up if you had to you see the suit really wasn't made for girl I'm fine okay Campbell's up first that was not a garden bark it was a direct hit I thought we're supposed to be doing a search what happened what's wrong did you change the exercise bogs because that was an attack not a search either your dogs not trained properly you sent him out to bite you know you got an attitude problem I was shouting for help we didn't hear you no way that's why I put you in a bite suit in case any of the dogs got overexcited there's a reason we call it training how do you want somebody else to decoy for you two think you can handle the rest the exercise I can handle it [Music] [Music] [Music] what were you waiting for a dull blood don't know must be a perfume yeah I'm out I'm gonna resign from the unit let everybody know why don't do anything stupid kid I'm done being

resignation before I came home and you'll be married to a snitch [Music] during that time my personality changed I was depressed I was real discouraged I couldn't eat I didn't want to go outside I'd lost my career I'd lost my self-esteem my whole life was destroyed I didn't know if I could ever return to the Long Beach Police Department because of the fear of retaliation I could hardly function as a human being let alone a police officer it's not just the attack it's the constant hostility and hatred since the day I joined the unit you can take it and take it and then you can't take it anymore you can't work like that the seal you mean you're going after workers comp I just need some stress Leif it's going around first Miranda Berkeley now you what happened to hypoglycemia and chronic fatigue those used to be popular now it's stress I'm not making this up I hope not because if you are we'll find out what is with you Lucille nobody ever said cops were nice boys you knew that when you joined the force same as I did and I didn't get my stripes by feeling sorry for myself and taking everything personally so that makes you just one of the guys huh a little shorter with a little less hair on your chest this is such a bull you know what you are just a second-rate in a second class to them as the rest of us thanks for the coffee sergeant [Music] hi oh god you scared me nervous let's take a walk sure you knew about me and Harry I heard you were an item yeah and being married you figured I got what was coming to me why do you think I called you Miranda to rub it in to gloat or something why did you call me why'd you want to get together I fell in love with him I thought he was separated you ask anyone I believed him try standing up and saying that in court is that the plan to sue them I don't want to force my viewpoint on you you know I mean the guys don't get driven out of the department have you noticed they wear out on stress leave they're all still working yeah I noticed that so you talked to him Ceylon his solidarity I talk to him you're probably just gonna do you the same way they did me you can claim that you're taking Heat then I a jumps in the next thing you know you're a snitch you can't get back up can't get a partner in the meantime your personal file is getting thicker and thicker with any type of complaint that the brave boys in the balloon can dredge up now if that's not enough to make you quit I probably just turn around and fire you anyway all this because we're missing that little piece of equipment that they are so proud you know my first training supervisor gave me a decal that said repeal the 19th amendment keep them barefoot and pregnant supervisor who said that women were good for three things making beds making babies and making pies I don't know about you but I am tired of crying do you think you're gonna sue the department so we're gonna talk to a lawyer you're gonna smear the entire department because of a couple of well they all know they can get away with it because nobody stops them higher up okay you know you may be home all day but I happen to still work there department paychecks pay the mortgage and the food and the clothes and the cars and the toys oh and I'm supposed to be grateful I know what happened to me in the department let it happen you need to start thinking about some beside yourself Kathy they're two of us in this marriage really I was about to say the same thing [Music] [Music] here's how this kind of case can be filed either you've been directly heist which is what you're telling me or you've been subjected to a hostile work environment which is also what you're telling me you don't sound you know especially convinced I'm a civil rights lawyer that's why you're here I sue police departments all the time I tend to mistrust cops we're the victims well not to me that starts out as an oxymoron a cop was a victim why did he become cops except to kick butt I got yours kicked instead it's a good case I like it so do you have a lot of friends Louis you're hiring a lawyer not a friend take your time talk to some other choices but I know how to win this case my husband doesn't think I should sue he's a cop - then go home no we want to do this we're gonna do this let's go I don't give a damn about your wife's problems with the dog boys partners aren't supposed to screw each other up think I didn't talk her out of it Jeff come on man how hard did you try I don't like it either okay maybe my wife's a nice cook but at least she listens to me I tell her to do something it gets done lucky you a vacation just got canceled mine too and you know why partner Roberta's on the rag again shut your face Jeter oh no is that offensive Roberta sees you file a complaint no I'll believe in complaints [Music] let's call it in let's file a report Oh like they're going to investigate just let's get it on record don't shout rob you're pulling up in this case alright no I'm not look you go back on patrol you're never gonna see these guys again yeah see different guys with the same attitude walk away well why don't we just give him a medal I'm right and they're wrong and I'm not going to go away you know you do not have to be the hero all the time we happen to have a little boy in the next room and I'm not about to let you jeopardize him because you've got your feelings hurt is that all that happened people don't want you someplace you butt out that is the normal response yeah well maybe I'm not normal well you used to be so why don't you do the normal thing and pack a suitcase are you throwing me out you are throwing me out I am not going anywhere [Music] I'm not the one getting the deference Jordan even not me and not taking the baby because it too risky so don't even ask if you love me you lose honey that is a two-way street unless you want to change your mind and drop this case I don't find any reason why you can't go back to work officer Arnold there's nothing wrong with you except that you're very angry well of course I'm angry I just got jerked out of a job that I worked very hard for and took a lot of pride in you resigned from canine I was forced out I'd lost my career and lost my family my marriage is broken down I'm afraid to see my kid I'm under surveillance I'd be crazy not to be angry are you taking medication oh you go back to them and tell them that if push comes to shove they're not gonna shove me anymore okay doctor I'm gonna shove them I'm gonna defend myself and if that means killing someone then okay I'll kill someone even if it's the chief you tell the department to leave me alone officer Arnold internal affairs has been informed of a death threat yeah it was a death threat left on our answering machine I saved the tape I can bring it in for you I'm talking about a death threat against the Chief of Police which we have reason to believe involves your wife which means what in plain English sergeant Cathy's threatened to take out the chief that is bull actually it isn't you know I don't have to talk to you without a union rep Chiefs giving orders for us to detain you until an ia team can bring her in is that right you're risking a charge of insubordination officer no actually according to union rules I'm not I'm calling the Union you do that Cathy the ia is on his way to pick you up they better come with a SWAT team if they want me Oh grant snap Cathy just get the hell out of there yeah I have a dog I have my guns I have a mo get out get out get out get out they're setting you up well they're here just go out the back door hang up see I'll subpoena the entire department if I want to all 650 sworn officers because you're way out of line now cut the crap and just back off the Arnold's I'm not threatening you I'm informing you my client knows how to hang tough oh you trained her thank you it's everything okay oh sure excuse me Cesar I once had a law professor who said that when the other side plays hardball just get a bigger bat you want to go downstairs I'll buy you a drink I thought you didn't like cops even ex-cops I'm learning to make exceptions maybe Miranda can be sure I listen I figured if I called you wouldn't talk to me I was gonna knock on your door wouldn't when I put together what I wanted to say thank you sorry you ruined my life something right now yeah save your your life I left Iran I know the timing sucks what exactly am I supposed to do with that information I thought maybe we could go to dinner together no honey I'm trying to tell you that I love you get the hell away from me Harry hey you don't need this lawsuit what did you do did you make a bet in the squad room that you could talk me out of this in bed you really are a bastard Harry I am NOT dropping the suit you keep acting like a dumb [ __ ] and you bring this on yourself see that's the disadvantage of being male and you didn't leave your wife Harry time is up baby it's time to die yesterday you're gonna dine next week goodbye that was two years ago little low on creativity well they know the court date are you worried well not with a loaded gun in my purse I you know I just wish I could put a name to the voice doesn't matter the judge is gonna say it's the Long Beach Police Department that's on trial not some goon who talks like a cyborg yeah even if it's one of the defendants this is a civil rights case to demonstrate a pattern and practice of tolerating sexual harassment the defendant should be the city of long beach we're dropping the individual cops even the k-9 cops yes all of them why because each of them hired their own lawyer who would have the chance to cross-examine you it would be a feeding frenzy no this is great I'm divorced unemployed I can't even afford a babysitter and they're not even gonna have to testify no no we can call anybody we need for our cases a witness and the city can call the k-9 boy stur about your testimony if they dare my guess is they won't what about Harry I'm counting on it all rise the United States District Court for the Central District of California is now in session the Honorable Harlan Upshaw presiding I knew from prior contact with Miranda that she could be very violent she threatened me on numerous occasions she threatened to do herself she threatened to do my family she threatened to herself in front of my family Miranda Berkeley has stated that you followed her so closely in the police building that she could feel your hot breath on her neck did you in fact do that no I did the best I could not to be around her I didn't want any more trouble with her did you glare at her during the course of squad meetings no did you destroy her labor cards no isn't it a fact that Miranda began to distrust you more and more because you told her lies after she threatened us both their gun I told her exactly what she wanted to hear and you told her you loved her I did tell her I loved her but that was only because you were afraid of her is that your testimony sergeant she could go off on me in a heartbeat I mean we'd be sitting in her apartment on the couch having a rational discussion and all of a sudden she'd go off on me it was like a Jekyll and Hyde type personality so you yourself had no interest in her whatsoever aside from wanting to protect your family and to protect yourself I didn't have a romantic interest in her I still you know valued her as a person didn't you continuously seek her out range to have dates with her to take her on camping trips with you those trips in our relationship went on at her insistence not at night but the answer is yes isn't it yes sir the answer is that we did go on trips and we did continue to see each other how many trips did you take together I couldn't give you a number eight or nine and each of these lasted two or three days I'd say probably two or three days so the only reason you went away with her was to break up with her is that accurate that was my intention now you often wrote loving notes to Miranda didn't you sometimes alright and in these notes when you said love and miss you those were lies is that correct some of them work well which were lies in which were the truth well I have a problem with these notes I mean I don't know where in the relationship I wrote it suppose you tell us the period of time when statements like love and miss you and kiss you and statements of that kind were the truth and when they became lies from the beginning of our romantic relationship up until the time I started to break it off and after that you didn't mean it I didn't say I didn't mean it all right trying to keep peace no further questions the witness may step down now chief you ordered a survey taken of the department's policewomen regarding sexual harassment excuse me would you turn to the second page of Exhibit A their first question have you experienced sexual harassment within the past two years yes 83% no 17% did you consider that a serious problem yes ma'am as a result did you discuss the issue of sexual harassment with your supervisory personnel I know I said a boy's remember sexual harassment is out there and you've got to be sure that all of you pay particular attention to this as a major issue you also stated in your deposition mm-hmm quote I don't believe I have any problem with sexual harassment in the Long Beach Police Department and quote so which is it G objection argumentative I'll withdraw that you nailed his feet to the floor oh that was a short moment Rafi we're gonna need your ex why we talked about this I'm not going to ask him the police department ruined your marriage and they broke up your family the jury needs to cry about it that will leave him out of this he's doing just fine in the department and he doesn't need the hassle neither did you I don't want you calling him Louis noted did you reach any conclusion as to why sergeant McCarthy was engaging in hostile conduct towards you yes he wanted me out of the department I didn't want to have anything more to do with him and I asked him to just leave me alone and what effect did your request have on the way he was acting he just got angrier and angrier and all of his antics just got worse the examples of treatment you received after the internal affairs investigation began how frequently did you experience conduct like that it seemed like every day once a week at least actually it seemed like it was happening all the time what finally ended up leading to your departure from the department I just couldn't take it anymore I was depressed I felt like my life was meaningless Brian lost my self-respect are you seeing a psychiatrist Miranda yes ever since I left the department and have you been able to work at all since then I worked for a while at a bird farm putting birdseed into sacks and now I'm working at a rubber stamp store what's your wage by 50 an hour and what were you earning when you were last employed as a police officer $18 an hour no further questions if there were jokes of a sexual nature told I never heard them well did you ever hear profanities in the k-9 meetings I've heard profanities now some nights you stayed for the training sessions and some nights you didn't isn't that correct sergeant on occasion I would uh I would go back to the station and take care of some other administrative work mm-hmm and how often would you do that approximately I couldn't say were you present the night that Kathy was bitten by two of the canine dogs no I was not and yet when Kathy tried to contact you as her canine supervisor you were not at the station you were not on the computer you did not answer your radio where were you sergeant objection your honor this is just totally irrelevant I am trying to establish the units absence of adequate supervision Your Honor the witness is directed to answer well I am I don't recall where I was on on that particular evening I I might have well I I could have left my beeper off you know by accident no further questions Kathy did there come a point in time when you had a discussion with your husband about how all of this the internal affairs investigation and so on was affecting him at work he was taking a lot of retaliation for my having filed this lawsuit objection your honor hearsay that's true go on to another issue please did your relationship with your husband suffer as a result of the incidents that you have testified about our relationship deteriorated from that point what happened it resulted in us being divorced what led to the divorce well she just said it was a factor I mean we're not trying a divorce case your honor I'm aware of that and I'll be brief what was it that affected your marriage when you went on leave it changed my personality I was withdrawn and depressed all the time there wasn't much of a wife it was hard for me to talk with him about police work about his police work there was just so much pressure on him it were objection your honor this is classic hearsay sustained the plaintiffs call Rob Arnold to the stand when was the first time you ever heard Kathie express any of the concerns that she had about the treatment she was receiving as a member of the k-9 unit from the beginning they treated her like she was dog crap they worked on her and worked on her until they just wore her down when you say they worked on her what do you mean by that the attitudes the isolation the language they used the jokes and the crudeness it was like she wasn't even there did the problems Kathie was having with the unit affect your marriage she started getting stomach aches and headaches she needed a lot more sleep limits used to be a very outgoing person she turned into a different person we still do a lot of things together we used to hike used to backpack a lot of things all that stuff is gone and our son as our little boys to be able to kiss us both good night it's never gonna happen for him again did you and Kathy have any marital problems before she went with the canine detail no none at all they were like the golden couple like we would still be together what happened to her hadn't happened to her I loved her I still love her but you know she's never gonna be the person that she was they damaged her when she can't even work she's such a mess no further questions we'll take a 10-minute recess thank you it's no big deal no sure it was you didn't say you were going to testify Louis seems like a pretty good lawyer it wasn't my idea to call you I know that you should have told me you were going to testify remember that for the next time how are you fine you seeing anyone [Music] how can the jury take three hours after five weeks of testimony Illya we're so convincing is that bad fast verdicts tend to go for the defense three hours I think that's a personal record well I won't tell anybody if you don't in the case of Cathy Arnall and Miranda Berkeley versus the city of Long Beach do you find that the defendant violated the plaintiffs constitutional rights under 42 USC 1983 yes do you find that the defendant violated the California fair employment and Housing Act yes was the defendants conduct approximate cause of damage yes what is the amount of damages you find for the plaintiffs for Cathy are no $1,300,000 [Music] for Miranda Bertling $1,500,000 thank you ladies and gentlemen you're excused these proceedings are adjourned [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] [Music]
