The three Broward County Sheriff's Deputies who smashed a child's head into the concrete, beat & then arrested him, after he picked up the phone of another child who was being arrested so it didn't break, have been criminally charged - with misdemeanors. nydailynews.com/news/crime/ny-…
So many people fought very hard to get the DA to bring these charges so that is a victory and I in no way want to understate that. But we all watched that video. That was not misdemeanor level violence. Unquestionably my clients would be charged with felonies for that conduct.
BUT maybe the worst part of this is that the 15-year-old child who was the victim was not only arrested and charged with felony assault, but even after the video went viral, it took more than a week for the charges against him to be dropped.
And, despite the existence of the video, more than two months for these charges to be brought.
PS. I didn't use the name of the victim even tho I know it has been widely shared because he is a child.
PPS. I absolutely SHOULD have named the sheriff's deputies - they are Gregory LaCerra, Christopher Krickovich and Ralph Mackey. I normally do this in my first tweet in these threads. Harder when there are multiple cops, but should have done in second. Apologies.
