having a seizure while black
A black grandfather was punched and kicked by white police officers after suffering an epileptic seizure while walking his autistic grandson to school, his family says.
A female bystander captured footage of the Thursday morning incident in Minden, Louisiana, which saw five cops - four of them white, one black - gather around Robby Bailey, 53.
Bailey was already on the ground by the time the woman and another bystander began filming, with one of the white cops seen kicking him, and another filmed punching him.
