Black man who police led by rope sues Texas city
A black man who was led by a rope by two white officers on horseback has sued a south-east Texas city and its police department for one million dollars (£770,000), saying he suffered humiliation and fear during his arrest.
A lawsuit filed last week in Galveston County district court on behalf of Donald Neely, 44, alleged the officers’ conduct was “extreme and outrageous”, both physically injuring Mr Neely and causing him emotional distress, news outlets reported, citing the court documents.
