Music producer Anton Austin says his life was turned upside down about two years ago when police officers arrested him and his girlfriend from a California home in a federal lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles in a racial profiling, excessive force And it was a case of illegal arrest.
With a trial date set for October, Austin hopes the Los Angeles Police Departments attempt to make public a display of public camera footage of the incident will shed light on his civil rights claims pending his trial and attorney Fiscal Gill Will help describe it as black. Hole : his attempt to obtain criminal charges from that date.
Austins lawyer Faisal Gill said Wednesday, The police had zero justification for arresting my client. They never took a swing, they never acted unfairly, they never hit them, they never attacked them they did nothing.
In an interview with Austin on Thursday, NBC News, 42, said he hoped the public would have the opportunity to view multiple angles of body-worn camera footage, which he and his legal team have already seen.
LAPD told NBC News that it does not comment on pending litigation.
