Football 'hero' sues police after officers shot him at taqueria
A 20-year-old college athlete who said he grabbed a gun from drunk customers at a popular downtown taqueria and then was shot four times by police filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the city of San Jose.
Instead, San Jose police have not acknowledged Green's role in the early morning hours of March 27 at La Victoria Taqueria, where they released video showing a brawl among about half a dozen men; some of whom were armed at the small restaurant. Initially, they described Green as a suspect and they have not changed their definition or description of his actions that morning. The suit names the city of San Jose as a defendant and claims police used excessive force and civil rights violations.
A second man who looked like he was friends with the drunk man pulled out a gun and pointed it at Green and other customers, the suit states. When Green reached the front door, one of the men reached out and grabbed his clothes, refusing to let him go. Green slipped away, stepping back and stood in the door frame of the restaurant, holding the gun with the barrel pointed at the sky – which is seen in a still photo that police released the day after a four-year veteran shot him in the abdomen, arm and knee.
