Allegations:
Howard was at work at a store when officers entered. He was handcuffed along with four patrons at the store, including Barnes and Gray. Before being handcuffed, Howard and another employee told the officers that Howard was an employee at the store. Officer Brown approached Gray and looked at him in an intimidating manner. Fearing that Brown would strike him, Gray asked Brown to take it easy on him since he had just recently had surgery. Brown replied that he would “knock [his] teeth out” if Gray did not do as told. The officers removed Howard's handcuffs and began to verbally abuse and taunt him. Brown struck Howard in the face and body several times and choked him. He was knocked to the ground, where Brown continued to strike him in the face. Brown handcuffed Howard once again and kicked him on the chest. He pointed his firearm at Howard, pulled the trigger and said, “You're lucky it wasn't loaded.” While Brown was attacking Howard, Neal, who was outside the store, exclaimed, “Hey, that's illegal.” As Stacker approached Neal at the entrance of the store, he delivered an open-handed blow to Barnes, then verbally threatened and taunted Neal. Neal left the store and called his mother. Stacker returned to the store and locked the door, preventing Barnes, Gray and Howard from exiting. When Neal returned to the store with Howard's mother, Stacker again left the store. He approached Neal and threw him up against a vehicle, twisting his arm behind his back and searching him in the process. Neal was then pulled into the store, pushed against a freezer and knocked to the floor. Neal and Howard were taken to police lockup. Once at lockup, Stacker entered Neal's cell, struck him in the face and poked him in the eye multiple times.
