Cop Found Not Guilty After Being Caught on Video Stomping & Kicking a Subdued Man

 

Bridgeport, CT — Officer Clive Higgins of the Bridgeport police department,was indicted in August for stomping a subdued man’s head and neck during an arrest. Higgins was accused of using unreasonable force during the course of Orlando Lopez-Soto’s arrest on May 20, 2011, in Beardley Park.
Higgins, 49, was found not guilty Wednesday by a federal jury.


“We respect the jury’s verdict and the criminal justice process,” the U.S. Attorney’s office said in a statement. “Our office will continue to prioritize civil rights investigations. We thank the FBI and the prosecutors for their hard work on this case.”
When Higgins was first indicted in August, the US Attorney’s office put out this statement, “The use of unreasonable force during an arrest is not only a clear violation of an individual’s civil rights, but also gravely undermines the community’s trust in law enforcement.”
Video of the incident surfaced nearly a year after the arrest which is when the family of Lopez-Soto filed a lawsuit against the department. With the compelling video showing three officers brutalizing an incapacitated Lopez-Soto, the city agreed to pay out $198,000.
In November of 2013, a $10 million federal lawsuit was filed against the department claiming that the problem of brutality within the Bridgeport police department is systemic and police officials closed their eyes to a rampage by three rogue officers allowing them to leave a nearly two-year trail of abuse and brutality.
In the video, the two officers, Elson Morales and Joseph Lawlor, can be seen kicking the victim repeatedly while he is on the ground. Higgins then arrives in his cruiser, gets out and appears to stomp the downed suspect around the head and neck.

Cop Brutally Slams Latino boy Face First into Sidewalk

 

Phoenix – While in recent weeks it has become all too apparent to the public that police are rarely held accountable for their actions. This case highlights exactly why many citizens dislike cops and the public as a whole is losing respect for them at a rapid rate.

This officer is a criminal in uniform. He harasses this 16 year old Latino kid. Treats him like a dog, then intentionally trips him while holding his arms so that he cannot break his own fall and swings him face first into the concrete sidewalk.

Eric Garner’s children speak to Katie Couric in exclusive interview [VIDEO]

 

Comment by Glenn Robinson

 

Eric Garner’s children are asking the good cops to speak out about the abusive cops.

In addition to good cops speaking out about the abusive cops, I’m asking all White people – if you see a cop interacting with anyone, especially a Black or Latino person – PLEASE get your body over there and calm down any abusive situation you see.

 

A cop is more reluctant to hit, choke, or shoot a White person, so if the situation calls for it PUT YOUR BODY BETWEEN THE OFFICER AND THE BLACK, OR LATINO PERSON.

 

If you know history, and you watch the news, you know that unarmed Black and Latino men are being murdered by our police force.

 

To stop the violence White people MUST ACT.

 

WHITE SILENCE = COMPLIANCE with the Violence

Video: Boy with air gun was shot 2 seconds after Cleveland police arrived

A Cleveland police officer shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice about two seconds after the officer and a partner pulled up.

Does the police car not have bullet proof glass and a PA system that can be used to say ‘DROP the GUN”???

 

The US preaches the right to bear arms, but the second a Black person has a gun, or a black wallet, or cell phone, or nothing in their hand, the Black person is shot dead.
