NEW: Man paid $900k for "psychological torture" after police forced him to give a false confession that he killed his father
This makes me so mad.
Investigators reportedly threatened to kill his dog, claimed his dad was dead & said they had evidence he killed him.
One problem: His dad was alive.
Thomas Perez Jr. called the police after his father went missing in Fontana, California.
Police brought him into the station where he was interrogated for 17 hours.
They told him that his father was dead and they had his body which was at the morgue with a toe tag.
Police tried convincing Perez that his mind was playing tricks on him and it was suppressing troubling memories like killing his dad.
They also brought his dog into the interrogation room so he could say bye to it as they threatened to euthanize it.
"How can you sit there, how can you sit there and say you don’t know what happened, and your dog is sitting there looking at you, knowing that you killed your dad? Look at your dog. She knows, because she was walking through all the blood," they said.
Perez eventually "confessed" and tried to kill himself by hanging in the interrogation room.
Perez's father eventually turned up alive. He had walked to the train station in Fontana and traveled to Los Angeles County to visit a relative.
He later went to the airport to fly to Oakland to visit his daughter before police found him.

Trump: These lights are so bright in my eyes I can't see people... I can only see the Black ones. I can't see any white ones. That's how far I've come. That's a long way isn't it?
Oh boy. Today, police announced that they did not give a breathalyzer exam to the St. Louis police officer who crashed into my clients bar bc other officers determined he was not impaired. Well here video of him running a red light seconds before he crashed into Bar:PM 1
Here’s what went down: we just won a clean 45 day gov extension, stripped GOP’s earlier 30% cuts to Social Security admin etc, staved off last minute anti-immigrant hijinks, and averted shutdown (for now).
People will get paychecks and MTG threw a tantrum on the way out. Win-win
New York is experiencing disastrous flooding and a Republican shutdown means the National Flood Insurance Program will expire tomorrow night.
This is lunacy. A bipartisan deal was agreed to months ago. Dems held up their end. GOP needs to stop playing games and follow through.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is caught in a jaw-dropping fake event scandal as it's revealed that the rally he supposedly held for autoworkers and union members in Michigan was a complete farce.
This is bad, even for a reality television host...
According to credible reporting by The Detroit News, the crowd at the event was DEEPLY suspicious. Their reporter attended the rally and discovered that one of the women holding a "union members for Trump" sign wasn't actually a union member.
In fact, it's unclear if any of the people in the crowd belong to a union.
Another attendee holding an "auto workers for Trump" sign admitted that he was not a union worker. Again, it's unclear how many people present were actually workers at all.
The event drew only 500 or so people — either actors or just fanatical Trump supporters — and the automotive parts supplier where it was held is a non-union shop with just 150 workers.
In other words, Donald Trump meticulously constructed a ruse to convince voters that he is pro-worker despite belonging to a party that solely defends the interests of bosses and corporations.
The charade contrasts sharply with Joe Biden who appeared on the picket line in solidarity with the United Auto Workers Union which currently has 18,300 workers on strike. It was the first time in history that a president has joined a picket.
Shawn Fain, the President of United Auto Workers, refused to meet with Trump and correctly stated that the ex-president "serves the billionaire class" and said that his decision to appear at a non-unionized facility a "pathetic irony."
Donald Trump is trying to trick pro-union and pro-worker voters to support him in 2024. Unfortunately for him, they see right through his lies.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump is anti-worker — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
I don’t give a shit if Marsha Blackburn struts around the Senate in a leopard-print tube top and a pair of daisy dukes. If Hawley wants to wear thigh highs, Grassley rocks granny panties or Ted Cruz shows up in some spurs, a sequined schlong thong & a cowboy hat.
I care that they want to take my reproductive rights away.
I care that they won’t do anything about AR-15s.
I care that they support a traitor.
They can wear whatever the fuck they want. I don’t care.
It’s how they vote that matters.
And again… @PeteButtigieg…
‘Sorry, I couldn’t make that out, can you please repeat it a couple of times so I can really make you look like an asshole when you’re done? Thank you.’ 😂
BREAKING NEWS: My opponent Jim Jordan was just HUMILIATED on the House Floor by Rep. Swalwell after threatening to hold Attorney General Garland in contempt.
This is so good!!!! 🔥
“My colleague just said you should be held in contempt of Congress. And that is quite rich because the guy who is leading the hearing room right now, Mr Jordan, is about 500 days into evading his subpoena…are you serious?”
He’s right!
My opponent Jim Jordan IGNORED a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
He should be in PRISON.
Jordan's refusal to comply with the subpoena is a serious obstruction of justice. It is also a betrayal of the American people, who deserve to know the truth about what happened on January 6th and who is responsible!
Who agrees with me that Jim Jordan should be BARRED from running again for violating the Fourteenth Amendment! 🖐️
Friends, it’s time for more sexy soil talk. I’m keen for you to stop and think about this: regenerative farming is key to fixing food nutrition and climate change. There’s no better place to start than with nurturing our soil. Hit the link in @NRDC’s bio to see how you can help.
The top ten states with the highest rates of maternal mortality have all passed abortion bans.
When people say they care about women and children but are silent on maternal mortality, they’re hypocrites.
