Ryan K. Thompson,Esq. on Instagram: "Human and Civil Rights Attorneys Ryan K. Thompson and Jessica Hawkins have been retained by the family of the 12 year old who can be seen being beaten by two Plaquemines Parish Sheriffs Deputies. The family of a 12 year-old juvenile, their representative Dr. Ashonta Wyatt, and their attorneys are calling for the immediate termination of the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Deputies Sgt. Francis and Sgt. Dugas. In dash camera footage from February 19, 2022, Sgt. Dugas can be seen using excessive force against a non resisting 12 year-old, when he snatches the juvenile off his stopped dirt bike and violently slams him to the ground. Subsequently, Sgt. Francis is seen violently kicking and stomping on the minor while Sgt. Dugas is seen kneeling atop the 12 year-old. Additionally, the family seeks a full investigation into Sgt. Francis, Sgt. Dugas, and all other Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Officers who responded to the February 19, 2022, event. The dangerous maneuvers deployed by those Plaquemines Parish Sheriff Officers that evening endangered the life of the minor child, and ultimately left him with a concussion and a fractured left tibia. Further, the tactics deployed in this video are extremely similar to those seen being used by Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Officers in the reckless pursuit of teens Reginald Hamilton and Kody Blanchard which took place three months later on May 31, 2022. Please forward all media inquiries to Attorney Ryan Thompson or Dr. Ashonta Wyatt. #PPSOMUSTGO" | Zootzle
