Man in videotaped police beating alleges retaliation by LAPD officers

A man sued the LAPD alleging h’d been held down and beaten by police last fall made new accusations on Tuesday, saying officers have been following him since. Driving repeatedly past his house located in South Los Angeles. Helicopters flew so close to his house that walls ans windows shook Clifton Alford Jr. ]’s attorney Career Harper said officers had "heckled" Alford and his family multiple times driving past their home. Last week she said officers drew their guns on her client after stopping him for traffic violation harper planned to amend a federal cicil rights lawsuit she filed on Alford’s behalf to include the allegations of retaliation by police. They want to catch him doing anything even if he is doing nothing. Alford was riding his bike near 55th and Avalon Blvd that october when he was approached by a man in a car yelling stop it wasn't clear that it was an officer to Alford so he kept going only to feel someone grab the handle bars on the bike so he took off running. After a short foot race Alford was caught by 2 officers as another arrived and began beating the 22 year old who said he was lying on the ground in hand cuffs. Alfords altercation was captured on tape by a private companies security camera. The video tape was reviewed by several officers who stated that one officer delivered a kick to Alfords head it resembled a football player kicking a field goal. LAPD chief Charlie Beck stated he was extremely concerned about this particular use of force. Prosecutors declined to file charges against Alford. I fear being somewhere with the police being beaten like many other people everyday it affects a lot they will do anything to cover stuff up to make things seem like they were the victims only way things are ever going to change is if there are cameras mounted on the head gear
