Watch As Horrible Cops Psychologically Torture Man Into Falsely Confessing To Murdering His Dad

Footage released shows police psychologically torturing a man into giving them a false confession that he killed his father.

Fontana, California police interrogated Thomas Perez Jr. for 17 hours and even threatened to kill his dog as they accused him of killing his dad.

The police falsely claimed 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 continuously lied to him so he would give them a false confession.

After hours of torture and denying that he killed his dad, Perez eventually "confessed."

Police were filmed laughing at him as he beat himself up over the false accusations.

He then tried hanging himself 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 after getting into an argument with his son.

He later went to the airport to fly to Oakland to visit his daughter before police found him.

Perez was awarded about $900,000 for the torture he suffered.
