Racist Cop Demands ID From Black Cardiologist in Her Own Hospital — She Runs Police Medical Board

March 14th, 2023. St. Vincent Medical Center, Los Angeles. Dr. Angela Lawson, Chief of Cardiology and voting member of the Police Medical Review Board, had just finished a six-hour surgery saving a detective's life. Officer Derek Martinez—Badge #4177—blocked her path, demanded ID, and accused her of "pretending to be medical staff." He threatened restraints when she refused.
Martinez dismissed witnesses confirming her identity. When Lieutenant Jessica Torres arrived, she revealed the truth: Dr. Lawson held the power to revoke Martinez's medical clearance—the same clearance she'd approved twice before. The bodycam captured everything from three angles. Martinez's seven prior complaints against staff of color, all dismissed, surfaced during investigation.
Martinez was terminated April 5th, lost his pension after nine years, and had his law enforcement certification revoked by the Medical Review Board six-to-zero. Los Angeles paid Dr. Lawson $1.25 million. He now earns $38,000 annually as a warehouse security guard—down from $95,000.
