In October 2020, Officer Brandon Lundgren detained a 14-year-old Black boy outside a movie theater, referring to the group of teens as ‘a pack of animals’ and using other derogatory language. Lundgren handcuffed the boy and placed him in a patrol car without clear justification. The city settled the resulting lawsuit for $48,000. Lundgren was required to attend additional training on resilience, compassion, and leadership for law enforcement, as well as participate in a community engagement project involving South Sacramento youth.
