Cop's attorney: Teen deserved to be punched
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN)
-- The man who shot the amateur
video of Inglewood police officers
beating a black teen-ager was
arrested Thursday by officials with
the Los Angeles County district
attorney's office.
Meanwhile, the attorney for the police
officer suspended in the case said the
teen-ager took action "that required that
he be punched."
Amateur photographer Mitchell Crooks
was arrested outside CNN's Los
Angeles bureau where he was
scheduled for an interview. Witnesses said he was screaming as he was driven
away by plainclothes officers.
Authorities said Crooks was taken to the grand jury investigating the beating
case. He had failed to appear before the jury Thursday morning as scheduled.
Authorities said his arrest was unrelated to that case.
The district attorney's office said Crooks was arrested on at least two previous
charges from Placer County, in northern California.
One was an outstanding warrant for petty theft with a prior conviction, an
offense that does not allow for bail under California law. The other was for
hit-and-run while driving under the influence.
Attorney tells cop's story
The Los Angeles grand jury hopes to get the
original videotape shot by Crooks, Chief Deputy
District Attorney Curt Livesay told a Los Angeles
radio talk show Wednesday.
Crooks and Livesay had a terse exchange on the
show, with Crooks saying he feared police were
"coming after me because I shot the video." (Full
story)
The video shows a handcuffed Donovan Jackson,
16, being slammed onto a patrol car, then hit in
the face by an Inglewood police officer. The tape,
shot by Crooks from a hotel across the street
from the incident, received widespread attention
after airing on local and national television.
An attorney representing the officer said
Thursday that Jackson deserved to be punched
because he grabbed the mid-section of the officer
in the moments before he was hit.
"He took action that required he be punched,"
attorney John Barnett told CNN. "The facts will
show that the use of force was restrained given all
of the circumstances."
Barnett represents Officer Jeremy Morse, a
three-year veteran of the Inglewood police force.
Morse has been suspended pending an
investigation. No action has been taken against
the other three Inglewood officers or the two
sheriff's deputies who were at the scene.
"You cannot see what the subject is doing with
his hands just prior to being hit in the face,"
Barnett said. "It's reported that [Jackson] after
being placed on the vehicle grabbed the testicles
of the officer, and thereafter he was punched."
Attorneys for Jackson and his father, Coby Chavis, filed a federal lawsuit
Wednesday alleging their civil rights were violated. (Full story)
Law enforcement officials insist the altercation was started by Jackson, who
they say tried to interfere with a deputy attempting to cite his father for having
expired license plates and driving with a suspended license.
Jackson suffers from a disability that John Sweeney, Chavis' attorney, termed
"auditory processing delays," making it difficult for him to follow oral
instructions.
