On October 30, 2018 Treshon Nedill Broughton filed suit against Alex Gordon, Shane Emerson, the Pullman Police Department, and other unnamed defendants with a complaint alleging various violations of Broughton's civil rights. Broughton alleges unlawful detention, filing of false or misleading documents about said detention, excessive force, violations of Broughton's Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and malicious prosecution - all stemming from an incident that took place on February 18, 2017 in Pullman. Since that incident some videos have emerged, but they are all incomplete - showing only a portion of what was captured - and they also represent only a small, cherry-picked portion of the full body of video associated with the incident and arrest. It's difficult to form an opinion about something when you don't know what actually happened.
So for this case, let's begin filling in the blanks. Portions of this video have been publicly disseminated. Subsequent videos have not.
*At one point in this video on-screen text directs the viewer to the description. I want to comment specifically on that scene, where the officer yells to Broughton "You're under arrest for using a fake twenty!" Because the comment is more opinion than factual reporting I posted it to the Real World Police Patreon page as a public post. You can check it out there if you're interested in reading.
