Local NAACP President Isaiah Rumlin has his arm
in a sling and a sore shoulder, and he says the excessive force of a
Jacksonville sheriff's officer is to blame. The civil rights leader
says he was a victim of an abusive officer who wouldn't let him check

Northwest Jacksonville. His business was located just inside the police
