The attorney for the family of a mentally ill man who died after police shot him, filed suit in federal court a few months ago.
Russell A. Robinson represents Thomas Chang, Christine Goias and Matthew Chang, successors to Errol Chang who died Mar. 2014 after a confrontation with police in the Chang family home on Pedro Point.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe investigated and cleared the officers involved of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, Robinson maintains the police departments of Daly City and Pacifica are at fault. The Pacifica police department called in Daly City to assist with the call that ended up an hours long standoff with the SWAT team involved.
