From [HERE] A Latino man seen on a video being beaten by three Bridgeport police officers has filed a $1 million lawsuit, while NAACP leaders are calling on police officials to arrest and fire the officers.

The graphic video of the May 20, 2011, police beating that was posted Jan. 18 on YouTube showed police officers Elson Morales and Joseph Lawlor violently kicking a motionless Orlando Lopez-Soto as he sprawled on the ground. The video continues with Officer Clive Higgins jumping out of his cruiser and running over to join in with his own powerful kick, even as the suspect was being restrained and stomped by the other cops. The video garnered nearly 185,000 views.

Attorney Kretzmer said her client's family only recently learned about the video, which was taken with a cellphone camera from about 50 feet away in Beardsley Park.

On the video, recorded May 20, 2011, Lopez-Soto, 27, is seen running from the right side of the frame when there is the electrical sound of a stun gun. Lopez-Soto falls face down motionlessly in the grass and officers Joseph Lawlorand Elson Morales run up to him and begin kicking and stomping on him. Officer Clive Higgins then pulls up in his patrol car, gets out, and leaning on Morales for support, also begins kicking and stomping Lopez-Soto. He was unarmed. 

Lopez-Soto was taken to the hospital after the incident, but only for being shot twice with the electric stun gun, according to the police report. There is no mention in the report of the kicking and stomping by the officers.
