He was tased by Officer Warren. the officers grabbed him and threw him to the floor, where they kicked him numerous times. Bishop heard a supervisor yelling at them to stop. The officers drove Bishop to a police station where a supervisor threatened him with felony charges if he asked for medical treatment and didn't clean the blood off his face. Bishop complied and was charged with several misdemeanors, including assault. He filed a complaint with the Independent Police Review Authority. The charges against Bishop were later dismissed.
