Body camera footage showed multiple officers hitting Devin Carter, then 17, as he lay curled on the pavement
Two Stockton police officers were indicted by a grand jury Friday on felony charges for the beating of a Black teenager in December.
The charges stem from a Dec. 30 incident in which Stockton police pursued Devin Carter, then 17, for speeding. Police said at the time that Carter turned his lights off and led officers on a three-minute pursuit. After Carter stopped, body camera footage released by his lawyer, John Burris, shows officers pulling Carter from the vehicle and slamming him on the ground.
After the California city went bankrupt, Stockton cut its police department by nearly a quarter. Eight years later, it’s a lesson on what fewer police can and can’t do. Burris, a civil rights attorney who specializes in cases of police brutality, compared Carter’s beating to that of another of his clients, Rodney King.
