In California, a Black man is suing seven Los Angeles County officers for allegedly beating and leaving him with serious injuries.
Christopher Bailey was driving home from work when police pulled him over, saying he was straddling lanes.
During his arrest, he was punched by officers over 80 times, with nearly 40 of those hits to the face.
Bailey says he complied with the officer’s orders; however, the police report says he resisted arrest.
Those three felony counts of resisting arrest are dropped.
The beating left Bailey without vision in his left eye, fractured bones in his face, and a few missing teeth.
“I was screaming out,” Bailey said. “I wanted to live. I really feared for my life. I thought I was going to die.
His civil rights lawsuit demands the seven officers be fired and criminally charged.
