Henry Davis’ story was uncovered during the Department of Justice investigation into the Ferguson, MO police department. Fortunately, his case was discovered and this roadblocks were cleared.

Davis, 53, received a parking violation, which turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. Nevertheless, he was arrested, sent to the Ferguson jail where he requested a mat to sleep on.

The mat request was refused and a beating was given.

You know the typical script by now.

Arresting officer Christopher Pillarick claimed Davis, who was handcuffed at the time, refused to go into the cell.

Pillarick called for additional officers. They tackled and beat Davis leaving him with “a concussion, scalp lacerations and bruising”, then charged him with destruction of property.

Davis had the nerve to bleed on the police uniforms after they beat him inside the jail.

From NewsOne: 

Davis and his attorney, James Schottel, stressed that it was less about the injuries he sustained and more about the nature of the officers’ behavior. An appeals court quickly sided with Davis on Tuesday, reversing the lower court’s ruling.

Davis is now free to continue with his excessive-force suit against Pillarick, former officer Kim Tihen, Officer Michael White, and Sergeant William Battard.

Hopefully, Davis will be able to get some justice in his case.
