Officer Used Excessive Force on Two Separate Occasions, Alleges Lawsuit
A New Mexico mother has filed a civil complaint alleging that excessive force was used against her son, reports the Albuquerque Journal. A Bernalillo police officer reportedly threw the woman's son, then 13-years old, to the ground at a public park after a fight broke out between children there. The complaint alleges that the teen was injured. The boy told the officer that he was uninvolved in the altercation. According to the Albuquerque Journal, the lawsuit also alleges that the police officer threw the teen against the hood of an automobile, injuring him again in a separate incident two years later.
