Two brothers, and the wife of one of the brothers, are now suing the city of Idaho Falls.
On 31 August 2013, the two black skinned brothers were tased and arrested. One was charged with battery on an officer, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. The other was charged with resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. The police were responding to a simple noise complaint, when they attacked the brothers.
In February 2014, a jury acquitted one of the brothers, and the Idaho Falls prosecutor dropped all charges against the other! So, de facto, the actions of the court imply the cops lied!
Idaho Falls police boss, Mark McBride, says there was no racial motivation in the tasing of the two ‘black’ men.
