Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton failed to intervene as Officer Rick Linton committed multiple out-of-policy uses of force during a June 9, 2025 protest outside LAPD headquarters.
Despite witnessing Linton shoot an unarmed activist and two attorneys with less-lethal munitions—actions that violated department policy—Hamilton took no action to stop or correct the misconduct.
He also failed to address the officer’s refusal to identify himself and the absence of a required serial number on his helmet, effectively allowing the violations to occur under his supervision.
