Denver Cops Again - beat a man, news story and raw video of the incident

What started as a walk to the park with his dogs ended with a trip to the hospital for a Denver dog owner. 32-year-old Mark Ashford says he was beaten black and blue by two Denver Police officers. quot;They punched him and pinned him up against the fence and forced his head into the concrete.quot; Ashfordapos;s attorney, Will Hart, said the beating that was caught on camera is a clear case of Excessive Force. quot;This happened when he was walking his dogs, he has a conversation with another citizen that the police officer doesnapos;t like and as a result, he ends up in the hospital,quot; said Hart. Hart says Mark Ashford was walking his dogs near 20th and Little Raven in LoDo, when he saw police pull over a driver for failing to stop at a stop sign. Ashford told the driver he saw him stop and would be willing to testify in court. Hart says the officer overheard him and quot;wasnapos;t very happy.quot; Thatapos;s when Ashford says the Denver police officers demanded his I.D. and detained him. Ashford tried to take a picture of the officers to document the incident, and a few second later he was on the ground. Police charged Ashford with interference and resisting arrest. Hart says, the charges were later dropped because the officers violated Ashfordapos;s 4th amendment rights, quot;they had no reason to stop him, take his ID or detain him.quot; An Excessive Force complaint was filed against both officers involved. A Denver police spokesperson says the internal affairs department has completed its investigation, but they are now turning the case over to the independent police monitor. Police wonapos;t say if the officers were disciplined in any way until the investigation is complete.
