Lindsey Beshai Torres filed a lawsuit, alleging two officers in Worcester, Massachusetts, used excessive force on her son.

It was clear the officers should not alarm or upset the boy, the suit adds, and there"was no need" for them to touch or detain him.

McCarthy had a knee on JT's neck while Alers had a knee on the boy's legs and they stayed like that for several minutes, according to the suit. According to the suit, filed in federal court by Beshai Torres through her attorneys, the encounter with the officers in 2017 left JT with a broken bone in his right arm and he required surgery. The injury cost the family more than $23,000 in medical bills, the suit said.

The report could be written on a Post-it: 'Blake was a lowly rapist who got his ass shot. Officer was justified.' Makes sense, why not have a former black man for fairness?
