Police Use Racism To Target And Beat Victim

The media often indicates that people in the U.S. have made a sharp turn back toward racism, a claim that appears to be disturbingly true in a story making headlines in New Orleans. This matter involves rookie NOPD officers who were fired and and charged with the batter of Jorge Alberto Gomez. In the midst of the violence, officers Sutton and Galman allegedly called Gomez a “fake American” and implied that the Hispanic victim had attempted to steal valor by choosing to wear camouflage clothing. It should be noted that Gomez served in the National Guard and, while he grew up in Honduras, he was born in the United States.

This incident is not unusual in the fact that it illustrates blatant police brutality and racism against a victim. The attorneys from Action Legal Group can help ensure that the perpetrators in such a case will be held responsible and they can work to recover the medical expenses and damages.
