What do the lawyers have to say about the Colorado police case?
The lawyers of Dalvin Gadson have demanded a detailed investigation from the authority after the disturbing video streamed where a 29-year-old homeless Black Army veteran was seen getting thrashed by the police.
The lawyers added that the incident is called to be influenced by racial discrimination as all the Colorado officers involved in the case were white. They couldn’t understand the situation of the homeless servant of the country. Rather, all they could do was humiliate and beat an individual based on his skin color.
