Judge doesn’t dismiss excessive force lawsuit against Austin officers
A federal judge has declined to dismiss a lawsuit against two Austin police officers accused of using excessive force, calling their behavior brash, aggressive and dangerous.
Carlos Chacon sued officers Eric Copeland and Russell Rose last year in the wake of an incident that led to his arrest after he called 911 claiming a man was trying to shoot him, according to court records.
On May 21, U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks denied the officers’ motion for summary judgment and granted a separate motion for summary judgment by the city of Austin, which Chacon also sued on grounds that the Police Department inadequately supervised and trained the officers in the reasonable use of force, and negligently hired and retained them.

ReplyDeleteYou can infer his state of mind by his words and actions. He called Zimmerman a "creepy ass cracker." Instead of walking on to his father's home, he stopped and waylaid Zimmerman, knocked him down, and was beating the hell out of him. He was not an honor student; he was expelled from school for having burglary tools.
