China News Service, August 27. According to the Associated Press report on the 25th, a law enforcement video that has been kept secret for more than two years shows that a police officer in Louisiana beat an African-American driver with a flashlight within 24 seconds during a law enforcement session. On 18 occasions, the police referred to this behavior as "pain obedience."
The federal government is investigating the incident.
"I did not resist! I did not resist!" In the video obtained by the US media, the screams of the beaten African man Bowman could be heard.
In May 2019, he was beaten by a white policeman Brown after a traffic stop, resulting in a broken jaw, three broken ribs, a broken wrist, and a wound on his head that required six stitches.
In August 2021, more than two years later, according to a court order, the video taken by the body camera worn by the police officer at the scene was handed over to Bowman's lawyer when the incident occurred.
In addition, it is reported that less than three weeks before Bowman’s incident, police from the same department beat and dragged another African-American Green, who died after being detained by the police.
Federal prosecutors are investigating these two cases, and the scope of the investigation is being expanded to investigate police violence and possible cover-ups by state police.
The state police issued a statement on August 25, 2021 local time, stating that the white policeman Brown who attacked Bowman had “taken excessive and improper actions”. He did not report the use of force to his superiors and “deliberately carried” him with him. "The wrong label" is recorded on the camera.
According to state police records, since 2015, Brown has recorded a total of 23 incidents of the use of force, 19 of which targeted African descent.
In addition to the federal investigation, Brown also faces state-level assault and malfeasance charges for Bowman's assault.
