Two Houston police officers accused of using excessive force closer to standing trial
Tags:
HOUSTON – A civil lawsuit accusing two Houston police officers of excessive force is one step closer to trial after a ruling from a federal judge.
Jose Gomez, 44, filed suit against the city of Houston and the officers in 2018 after he was arrested during a March 2017 traffic stop.
Police bodycam footage shows the encounter quickly escalating from the time one officer asks Gomez for his license, but he says he doesn’t have his wallet on him.
The officer then says “no license? Get out!”
The video shows Gomez getting out of his truck and the officer appears to begin to handcuff him. But seconds later, Gomez is on the ground screaming and officers are yelling “stop resisting.”
