From [HERE] and [HERE] Last week, the Dallas Police Department used its Facebook page to show dash-cam footage from January 27 in which Officer Quaitemes Williams is seen kicking and pepper-spraying Rodarick Lyles, who'd been pulled over by another officer for driving with a suspended license. It shows Officer Williams punching a handcuffed Lyles with his fist and using a flashlight to beat the unarmed man.  Williams kicked Lyles in the head and sprayed pepper spray into his face. He also shocked Lyles with a Taser. Williams was fired last week, then promptly arrested on an official oppression charge and taken to Dallas County Jail.  He was then later released on a $1,000 bond. [MORE] Officer Hiram Soler, who'd initially stopped Lyles, was suspended for 10 days for entering inaccurate, false or improper information on a police report.

In a lawsuit filed in federal district court, Mr. Lyles argues his constitutional rights were violated and he has endured pain and suffering. Lyles and his family spoke out in a news conference.

Lyles and his mother, Ella Flowers,  think race was a factor, and they said it's a problem Dallas police need to face head-on. Flowers said, "they called him bad names, the n-word. You know they say words don't hurt you? Yes, they do. That messes with him at night. He jumps up. He can't sleep."The complaint alleges the officers did indeed use racial epithets and that one officer said to another after the beating, "You got your stripes tonight."
