MADISON, Alabama (AP) — A police officer has been charged with assault and will be fired after authorities say he badly injured an Indian man whom he stopped to question as the man was walking through his son's neighborhood. The man has filed a lawsuit, and the FBI has opened an investigation.

The lawsuit filed by Sureshbhai Patel on Thursday claims that his injuries include partial paralysis. His son said his father had to undergo surgery to fuse two vertebrae in his spine. Hours after the suit was filed, Madison Police Chief Larry Muncey announced that Officer Eric Parker would be fired.

Looks like things might be starting to change.  Shame about that guy getting hurt, though.

I saw the clip.  Brutal!
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

Thank goodness! Hopefully the tide is turning.
