“By dropping the charges, the District Attorney has made it clear that these officers had no reason to detain Mr. Gadson for a DUI investigation much less beat him mercilessly and then smile for the cameras as he lay on the ground bleeding,” the lawyers stated in the release. “In other words, this decision means that their actions weren’t just excessive. They were unlawful.
“Chief Adrian Vasquez said that Officers Colby J. Hickman, Matthew Anderson and Christopher K. Hummel did nothing wrong,” the lawyers continued. “But the reality is that they brutally beat Dalvin Gadson for a $15 fine and they should be investigated, arrested and prosecuted. Failing to do so puts lives at risk. Just askAn administrative review by the police department found the officers’ actions to be within policy, the department said in December.
The civil lawsuit filed in federal court in Denver claims the officers “deliberately, knowingly, intentionally and violently” beat Gadson without any kind of verbal warning as required by the police department’s use of force policy.
