Allegations:
Lott, an Arizona resident and professional photographer, was assigned to photograph protests against the NATO Summit when he captured officers beating a protester with their batons. Officers told Lott to stop taking photos, then threw him to the ground, stomped on him and hit him with batons. During the attack, Deputy Chief Tobias took Lott's prescription glasses and stepped on them and also grabbed Lott's cameras and threw them to the ground, destroying them. Lott was arrested and charged with reckless conduct. The charge was later dismissed.
