SPRINGFIELD, MA (WSHM) -
The city of Springfield will be
in federal court Monday, defending itself against a police brutality lawsuit
according to our media partner The Republican.
Terrence Thomas said 10
Springfield police officers yanked down his pants in the middle of a busy
street and beat him during a 2007 arrest.
The lawsuit alleges conspiracy to
violate civil rights, negligent hiring, assault and battery and infliction of
emotional distress.
