Grandfather assault case: Court to watch video again

A US court conducting the retrial of an American police officer accused of violently assaulting a 58-year-old Indian man has asked once again to watch the video showing the incident which left the grandfather partially paralysed.

“It’s not only police lives that matter. All lives matter. The defence says the community must respect police, but the police must earn the respect of the community,” Assistant US Attorney Robert Posey said on Friday during the trial of former police officer Eric Parker charged with using excessive force against Sureshbhai Patel earlier this year.The jury asked to once again watch the video of Parker taking Patel to the ground.
