Body camera video shows police in Aurora, Colorado, pointing guns at the head and body of a Black man who turned out not to be the fugitive they were looking for during a traffic stop in 2020.
Teddy Pittman filed complaints against the police and filed his own lawsuit in federal court. A few months later, a judge dismissed a traffic citation he got during the encounter “in the best interest of justice,” according to court documents.
Pittman, through his attorney Chris Ponce, filed an amended federal lawsuit against the officers from Aurora, Denver and the Department of Corrections, alleging wrongful search and seizure and racial profiling.
