Victim Suffers Permanent Brain Damage

The Montgomery Advertiser reports:
McLEAN, Va. ? A former Loudoun County sheriff's deputy is facing a federal civil rights lawsuit after a patrol car camera appeared to show him knocking out an unsuspecting target with a blow to the back of the head delivered at a full sprint.After giving the man brain damage, the cop charged him with assaulting a police officer.Sterling, Va., resident Carlos Garcia filed the lawsuit last year in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, but papers were served only recently on the defendant, Terry Daniel, who resigned from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office last year.
Garcia's lawyer, Victor Glasberg, said the video ? which has been posted on YouTube ? is clear and unambiguous evidence of an unprovoked assault. It shows Garcia standing with his hands in the air next to another deputy and his back turned as Daniel approaches rapidly. Garcia collapses immediately after being struck by the deputy.
In the lawsuit, Garcia says the blow knocked him unconscious and has left him with permanent brain damage, including headaches, loss of memory and confusion.
Interestingly, it was Garcia who wound up being charged following the November 2009 incident with assaulting a police officer. Court records show he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of misdemeanor battery and received a suspended sentence.Note, the police likely intimidated him into taking a plea deal through threatening him with a felony trial. (See this article, "The Police State Abolishes the Trial" for an explanation of how this scam works.)
In the lawsuit, Glasberg writes that Garcia consistently denied assaulting anyone, but opted to plead guilty to a reduced charge with a suspended sentence to avoid a felony trial. And Glasberg said the criminal allegations are unrelated to the assault Garcia suffered; even if the incident had unfolded as police described, it would have been minutes before Daniel's attack on Garcia, Glasberg said.How many incidents like this happen without being caught on tape?

You know, if you don't do anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. After I was arrested, handcuffed they walked me back to the cop car, and threw me on the concrete 4-5 times bloodying my knees. Not the same as getting punched in the back of the head though. This stuff happens all the time. Some police will even kill and cover it up, not to mention plant drugs on people. Happens all the time! if you don't do anything wrong my ass, if are unjustly detained you stand an excellent chance of falling into this trap. police stop people every day on suspicion.
once the lights come on - you are at their mercy, having done nothing wrong is of no concern to them. if you don't kiss but to suit the officer , you will be framed.
overzelous undertrained armed and dangerous describes today's street cop This looks to me like another cop jacked on steroids just attacking for no apparent reason. The steroids problem with police in America is pandemic and nothing is being done about it. In fact it is being covered up.
