Minneapolis police beating victim: ‘No one deserved what happened to me that night’

Man beaten by Minn. police: ‘No one deserved’ that

MINNEAPOLIS — A man who’s seen in a police video being kicked and punched by Minneapolis officers says he made the recording public in order to prevent the same thing happening to others.

Derryl Jenkins told The Associated Press on Tuesday, “No one deserved what happened to me that night.”

A Minneapolis officer pulled over the 43-year-old Jenkins last February. The video shows the two talking, then struggling, and soon several other officers arrive and are seen punching and kicking Jenkins, of Brooklyn Center.

The FBI and Minneapolis police are investigating the incident. Jenkins’ attorney says his client hasn’t filed a lawsuit and won’t until the investigations are complete.

Charges against Jenkins of assault and refusing to submit to alcohol tests were later dropped.
