A 25-year-old man was brutally beaten by two sheriff’s deputies after being arrested on charges of stealing a car. The beating, which included 50 punches and flinging the victim around a laundry room, was caught on tape six years ago but remained under wraps until now. Louisiana State Police cleared the deputies of wrongdoing despite federal prosecutors charging them with excessive force. Experts say the case highlights the breakdown in justice in small communities where police misconduct cases often go unaddressed. The victim, Jarius Brown, suffered severe injuries and has been left with anxiety and schizophrenia.
