"Utah Man, 78, Sues Police Department for Excessive Force in 'Unprovoked' Incident"

A 78-year-old man in Utah is suing the Ogden Police Department after he was violently taken down outside his home, resulting in injuries. The police had been called to the house due to a foreclosure notice, but it was actually a non-occupancy notice for the basement. The man, Rand Briem, suffered cuts, extensive bruising, and damage to his shoulder. Bodycam footage shows the officer snatching Briem's driver's license, leading to a scuffle. Briem's wife screamed in terror as he was pinned to the ground, and he was left bloodied and waiting for paramedics. The police department claims their use of force was justified, but the lawsuit alleges excessive force and violation of constitutional principles.

Jawan Dallas Family Demands Justice After Viewing Police Body Cam Footage

The family of Jawan Dallas, who was killed by Mobile police in July, has criticized the police department after viewing body camera footage of the incident. They claim that Dallas was repeatedly tased and begged for his life, saying, "I cannot breathe" and "I do not want to be George Floyd." The family's attorney called for the release of the footage to provide transparency and ensure accountability. The police department maintains that Dallas died due to health factors and drug use, and a grand jury cleared the officers of any wrongdoing. The family plans to file a civil lawsuit against the city.
