A South Florida banker was accosted by police officers for seems to be no reason at all. The police officers did not expect that their brutal assault against Noel Carter, 30, of Hollywood Florida, would be captured on video by a passerby. But that is exactly what happened. The video shows Carter being kicked repeatedly by an Orlando police officer. Now, Carter is asking for criminal charges to be filed against that officer as well as a second who was involved in the assault. Last week Carter requested that the State Attorney file battery charges against the officer. In that affidavit, Carter said that he was kicked at least a half-dozen. He noted that a second officer involved himself in the criminal assault by tasering him without cause. Now, Carter explains, he is left with bruises up and down his body, as well as serious abrasions to his head. He also notes that he has had anxiety attacks since the encounter and is terrified to be around police officers. “When I was essentially abused by these officers, I was completely taken aback and surprised by the situation,” Carter said. Carter is a licensed business specialist for Wells Fargo. He was not engaged in any criminal activity whatsoever. “I was surprised by how the situation escalated, especially given my demeanor,” he added. Watch the video of the incident below… Orlando Police Chief John Mina said that he has also requested that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigate the case. The State Attorney’s Office says that they will review the evidence once the FDLE completes its investigation. Based on that, they say, prosecutors will decide whether they will file charges, Angela Starke, a spokeswoman for the State Attorney said. Chief Mina, for now, says he is supporting the officers. “Based on witnesses and officer reports, it is clear that Carter was intoxicated, resisting officers, uncooperative and attempted to flee multiple times,” Mina claimed. “We absolutely had an obligation to intervene in any type of altercation, especially something that might be domestic violence.” That is because Carter was arguing with his girlfriend, but witnesses say he never hit her. Carter’s attorneys say the officers’ statements about the argument are false, and witnesses will back that up. “They were really out for blood,” he said of the officers. Carter’s attorneys said the domestic violence is “ridiculous,” and that it was merely a verbal disagreement that never got physical in any way. There was no need for police to be involved, the attorney claims. “The police department is not trained to beat, punch, kick, tase people who are in a submissive position,” Natalie Jackson, an Orlando attorney said. “There is nowhere in the training matrix where you will see that. Their job is to de-escalate situations and to handle incidents with appropriate force.” Carter told CBS Miami that now “I get anxiety just talking about this stuff,” and he is having difficulty with post traumatic anxiety and stress when police officers are around.

I heard he's also going to sue Curad. The package said "flesh-colored bandages" and look what he got.
