WASHINGTON D.C. (WKZO) — Detroit Congressman John Conyers is calling for a federal investigation into the beating of 57-year-old Floyd Dent by Inkster police in January.
Video of the beating and Dent’s arrest from a police dash cam were released by Dent’s attorney recently, sparking rallies on his behalf. Conyers wants the U.S. Department of Justice to look into the incident, which started after police say Dent ran a stop sign.
The congressman notes the video shows the man being pulled from his car, tackled, tased, and put in a chokehold while showing “no signs of resistance.”
