Two ex-officers who were recorded using excessive force on a Brusly Middle School student in Louisiana were found guilty on Dec. 14 but the student’s lawyer has since described the charges as a mere “slap on the wrist” considering the officers’ violent actions.
Footage of the confrontation first emerged through an anonymous leak to WAFB on Nov. 14 over one month after the incident took place on Oct. 5. The leak also provided the student’s grandmother, Doris Snearl, evidence for her case against the officers.
