"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.
