From [HERE] and  [HERE] A Black teenager whose beating at the hands of white Indianapolis police officers spurred protests by community groups and aggravated racial tensions has been arrested on drug- and gang-related charges.

Indianapolis Metropolitan police said they arrested 16-year-old Brandon Johnson and two of his older brothers Wednesday night at a home on the city's east side where they found marijuana, a handgun and items with gang insignia as well as gang photos and paperwork and a police scanner.

Johnson's attorney, Stephen Wagner, said police targeted his client unjustly. "We have serious questions about both of these charges, about the entire police action," he told Massee.

 Wagner said 14 officers stormed the house and that charges against Johnson are retaliatory. Wagner claimed that the only gun in the house was properly registered and that he suspects the gun charge was related to a cell phone picture of a gun. Wagner also claimed that the criminal gang activity charge related to a sweatshirt Johnson was wearing in memoriam of a friend who died in a shooting.
