Trooper Who Hit Black Man 18 Times With A Flashlight Indicted On Civil Rights Violation…

They are arro­gant, cocky, and they are bru­tal. They will not stop being dis­re­spect­ful bul­lies until the sys­tem which cre­at­ed, empow­ered, and pro­tects them take the pow­er from them.
The pow­er that allows them to bru­tal­ize and mur­der with­out fear of con­se­quence. The sys­tem that allows immu­ni­ty to cre­ate impuni­ty. A sys­tem that val­ues com­pli­ance to barked orders, (even ille­gal orders), than it val­ues cit­i­zen’s rights. (mb).

A for­mer Louisiana state troop­er was indict­ed by a fed­er­al grand jury in Shreveport on Thursday, Sept. 23, for using exces­sive force against a Black man dur­ing a 2019 arrest.
Jacob Brown, 31, was indict­ed on a sin­gle count of depri­va­tion of rights under col­or of law, accord­ing to a release from the Department of Justice. If con­vict­ed, Brown faces a max­i­mum sen­tence of 10 years in prison, three years of super­vised release, and a $250,000 fine.
Federal inves­ti­ga­tions into dead­ly and vio­lent inci­dents involv­ing Louisiana State Police and arrestees remain open and ongoing.
In May 2019, Andrew Bowman, 46, was pur­sued by offi­cers fol­low­ing an alleged traf­fic vio­la­tion. Bowman con­tin­ued dri­ving to his home and parked before offi­cers approached and phys­i­cal­ly removed him from the vehicle.
By the time Brown arrived on the scene, Bowman was already on the ground. Video and police records show he struck Bowman with a flash­light 18 times in 24 sec­onds. Brown lat­er jus­ti­fied his actions as “pain com­pli­ance.” No weapons or drugs were found in the vehi­cle. Bowman still faces a list of charges, includ­ing bat­tery of a police offi­cer and resist­ing an offi­cer. He has filed a fed­er­al law­suit against the state police and oth­er law enforce­ment involved in the arrest, alleg­ing “unrea­son­able, unnec­es­sary,” and neg­li­gent behav­ior from the offi­cers involved, and claims they could have used “ver­bal judo” and oth­er tac­tics to de-esca­late the sit­u­a­tion. Louisiana State Police said detec­tives learned that Brown failed to report the use of force to his super­vi­sors and mis­la­beled the footage of the inci­dent. Brown resigned in March 2021.
