Investigators who reviewed body camera footage of the incident months later determined the trooper's use of force was neither reasonable nor necessary.
Federal prosecutors are examining both cases in ainto police brutality and potential cover-ups involving both troopers and state police brass.
On the night Bowman was pulled over for a traffic violation, Brown came upon the scene after deputies had forcibly removed Bowman from his vehicle and taken him to the ground. The trooper later told investigators he"was in the area and was trying to get involved." Brown not only failed to report his use of force but mislabeled his footage as a"citizen encounter" in what investigators called"an intentional attempt to hide the video from any administrative review."Robert Tew, the district attorney in Monroe, declined to discuss Brown's case or anything to do with the state police."We'll see what the DOJ has to do," he said during a brief interview outside his home.
