Wesley Eggleston II was sitting in his car doing nothing illegal when four white Pennsylvania cops opened his doors and attacked him, pointing a gun at his chest before pulling him out onto the street, then choking, punching, kneeing and tasering the 42-year-old Black man without explanation.

It was only after Eggleston was battered, bruised, and handcuffed on the ground that the four cops realized they had made a mistake and removed the handcuffs.

But a police supervisor arrived on the scene and tried to justify the abuse by claiming Eggleston had tried to flee the scene.

Yes very wise insight. If one is to make an omelet by breaking eggs one should first understand how it feels to be an egg

The lawsuit is asking for at least $150,000 in damages

Why are these figures always so low?
