Mansfield, Los Angeles – The search for the tape lasted only six minutes, but when it ended, Garirus Brown had a broken nose, a broken eye and a very swollen face.
Unprecedented shots show: Sheriff Louisiana’s deputies collected the 25 -year -old naked, as they wandered around the washing room at the DESTO diocese center while he was dropping at a 50 -punch wave.
In the aftermath of the 2019 attack, one of the deputies resigned and the other was suspended. Interior records show that Sharif’s office has concluded that “there is no way to defend the actions of deputies.
However, this is only what Louisiana State Police did, and an investigation was found in the Associated Press. After waiting months to analyze the graphic video and more than a year to interview Brown, the agency has wiped the MPs. The state police eventually supported the allegations of deputies that Brown was “the aggressor” in a quarrel after being arrested on charges of stealing a car.
The case may have ended if the Federal Public Prosecutors did not eventually participate and reached the opposite result: Brown was a victim of excessive force.
The fee footage remained under the rear for six years, but this month appeared in a lawsuit for a long time, seeking compensation for his injuries. Brown, 32, now refused to comment through his lawyer.
Gary Evans, a former lawyer in the Disho diocese area, said that the case confirms the safety network provided by the Ministry of Justice for a long time in smaller societies – a role that fears many defenders It was suspected While the administration restores its civil rights amid President Donald Trump’s delegation “to” launching “the police.
“This was a great abortion of justice at the state level, and it appears that the regime has collapsed and does not protect citizens,” Evans said. “In a society like this, the federal government is the only way to accomplish anything.”
Braun’s hit was the latest in a series of police misconduct in the Dishoto diocese, a rural group of Woods Beni and a trading agriculture south of Sharifport, Louisiana.
A month before Braun was accused, another deputy was cleared after dealing with a man who was going through a grocery store. He agreed to a permanent ban on law enforcement in exchange for the charges that were rejected. In another case, the deputy diocese of desoto He was accused of rape of the third degree After requested a woman who was arrested to have sex by mouth.
Russell Graham, a spokesman for the state police, refused to explain his conclusion that “there was not enough evidence” that the deputies in the Brown case committed a crime. The delay in the investigation attributed the Covid-19s, which started six months after the beating.
Graham wrote in an e -mail to AP, adding that the agency “conducted a comprehensive investigation of this issue” LSP is still committed to comprehensive and neutral investigations and working with partners to ensure accountability and support general confidence. ”
Former MP, Javaria, acknowledged that he was guilty of using excessive force and was He ruled last year To serve about three years in the federal prison. It cannot be accessed for comment.
The other deputy, Demarkees Grant, who admitted to be guilty of obstruction of justice, was released from prison in April after he spent a 10 -month prison sentence. Grant AP told that he was still “tense” and “lost a lot” as a result of his conviction. He refused to say if he regrets the beating.
“What happened happened,” he said.
Power experts questioned the different results at the government level and the federal level, saying that Brown did not pose any threat and was not excessive.
The beloved shots show the structure of the structure of its hands, which is quietly walking in the washing room in prison before it is spoiled. The beating begins in the middle of the road by searching, after deputies faced Brown for the non -squatting as their directives so that they can search for it completely.
None of the deputy asked for a medical care for Bru they after the beating, but the magician admitted that the man needed attention and made sure that he was transferred to the hospital.
“I don’t know how any objective resident of this incident can determine that this is not excessive,” said Charles Joe Ki, a former Baltimore police lieutenant who usually testifies to defending the police and reviewing the footage at the request of AP at that time.
Andrew Scott, former Boca Ratton police chief, Florida, said there was nothing in the video that would justify the beating. He could only assume that the deputies were “offering revenge.” Scott added that any police official justified the beating after watching the video is “not an expert or honest.”
Within days of beating, the sheriff of Dishoto Jason Richardson Grant commented and grabbed the Punsi resignation. He defended the state police investigation in an interview with him recently, saying that federal and state reviews were not compared to “apples for apples” due to the different criminal laws.
Evans, the former public prosecutor, said that local officials have frequently foiled his efforts to get the video.
Louisiana police ultimately presented the harmful video of Evans Caliphs, Charles Adams, who closed the investigation in 2021. Regardless of what the video shows, Adams told that the state police report would have made the state’s prosecution “very difficult, if not impossible” because there was not enough evidence of the crime.
Adams said: “This report was presented and struck on our head,” Adams said.
The state police report describes Brown as the aggressor and said that the man told the soldiers that he was “perhaps high” when he was attacked, but the officers took a “appropriate action” against him.
State investigators also concluded that the footage supported the accounts of deputies on the attack. However, the US Department of Justice accused both deputies of falsifying their reports, which Grant confessed to creating a “false narration”.
Weeks after his victory over prison, Brown admitted that he was guilty of “unauthorized use of a car” and was sentenced to 18 months in prison behind bars. The state police conducted an interview with Brown in prison in early 2021 and informed that he “did not want to do anything” regarding the beating and “he was not interested in following up criminal or civilian.”
A local judge, Amy McCartney, refused the lawsuit filed by Brown against the deputies, and in 2023, the beating was not a “crime of violence.” court The opposite of this decisionBrown lawyers seek compensation for his injuries and medical expenses.
“Garous Brown survived horrific and unjustified strikes,” said Braun’s lawyer, Michael Embrosio, adding that “justice is entitled to justice.” Brown is also represented by the American Civil Liberties Union in Louisiana, who fought a Long legal battle Regarding the regulation of restrictions on the state on the civilian allegations resulting from the police violence.
Brown’s father, Derek Washington, said that the attack sent his unstable mental ability to his son “to a more severe state of schizophrenia.” Today, Brown fears the crowds and closed spaces, and “it cannot work in society.”
“He always believes that someone is trying to hurt him physically,” Washington said. “Now, my son is just a strange person, and I just want to get some of his manifestations.”
