Sheriff's officials probe exchange of photos of bloodied faces
A sergeant sent a photo of the bloodied face of an L.A. County Jail visitor after receiving a similar image of the face of the man's brother from an anti-gang deputy.
By Robert Faturechi and Jack Leonard, Los Angeles Times

After a violent confrontation with a teenage suspect, a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy took a photo of the man's bloodied face and texted it to Sgt. Eric Gonzalez, a friend who worked at Men's Central Jail.

A few hours later, Gonzalez responded by sending his own photo of a battered suspect: a jail visitor who had been kicked, punched and pepper-sprayed by deputies.

The man in Gonzalez's photo had two black eyes, one swollen shut, and blood streaming down his face.

"Looks like we did a better job," Gonzalez wrote his colleague. "Where's my beer big homie."
