Adam Williams After Jail Release<\/p><\/div>\n

Adam Williams, a citizen of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, claims he is victim of police brutality. Williams and his brother were outside of a local sports-bar when the two decided to walk outside and wait for their friend to pay a tab. Once outside, the two say they encountered an intoxicated stranger who was urinating on the sidewalk. After a \u00a0brief encounter with the two, the stranger disappeared into the night.<\/p>\n

Moments later, the head of security arrived and began threatening the two for urinating on the sidewalk. The two told the security guard that they had done no such thing and were simply waiting for a friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the fact we were breaking no laws, Jared (Williams\u2019 brother) & I remained where we stood & continued to\u00a0legally wait for our friend Dean,\u201d Williams wrote in a statement to police.<\/p>\n

The security guard called for police who arrived from across the street moments later. In total, 6 police began interrogating the two brothers.<\/p>\n

The two told police what had happened, but claim police had little interest, as they continued to move in on them. One officer told the two to shut up, or they\u2019d talk their way into jail. Williams says they asked police if they were being detained, or if they were free to go multiple times and received no answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn moments, six police were surrounding us,\u201d said Williams. One officer then yelled at the two, \u201cBuddy, you ain\u2019t being detained! You\u2019re free to go!\u201d However, while saying this, the officers continued to advance the two.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was clear we were not free to go,\u201d says Williams. In fear of the sudden escalation, the\u00a0two asked to speak with the supervising officer on duty.\u00a0At that moment, Officer Keith Sanders stepped forward and yelled, \u201cI\u2019m the g**da**, fu****g supervisor! Don\u2019t you know what this means,\u201d as he pointed to his uniform patch.<\/p>\n

At this point, the two told Sanders\u2019 they would be contacting his supervisors to inform them of the rude behavior. As the two were told they weren\u2019t being detained, they turned to leave. At this moment, officer Sanders reached forward and threw Williams onto the concrete. The officers immediately jumped Williams and began to beat him.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Officers punched Williams multiple times in the face and head. They then cuffed him and placed him into the patrol car of officer Kennith White. Police claim that moments later Williams began kicking the back seat of the patrol car. Officer White then opened the car door to pepper-spray Williams in his face and on his fresh wounds. Officer White then slammed shut the door leaving Williams to suffocate in the mist.<\/div>\n

Police then took Williams to the detention center where they strapped him into a chair and slammed his face onto the metal table in front of him.<\/p>\n

According to the civil lawsuit submitted by attorney Jon Rodgers, there is video footage police slamming Williams\u2019 head into the table. The police department is being sued for personal damages, $5ook, and fees. Rodgers says that his client\u2019s Fourth & Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated.<\/p>\n

Police charged Williams with two separate counts of assault on an officer, resisting arrest and public intoxication. Once released, Williams went to the local emergency department where doctors suspected he had a fractured wrist. Once the lawsuit moved forward, the defendants offered to drop all charges and costs against Williams except one.\u00a0\u201dI\u2019m not going to settle,\u201d says Williams.<\/p>\n

Officer White was also recently engaged in an\u00a0altercation<\/a>\u00a0with a city firefighter. Many are accusing officer White of using excessive force for punching Jerry Mosely, a firefighter living in the same county, multiple times in the ribs. (Video Below)<\/p>\n
