Herrmann Law Group files suit - Man shot, killed by officers in Clackamas County was denied aid; Body mocked, mutilated.
MILWAUKIE Ore. (KPTV) — A new civil rights lawsuit has been initiated against Clackamas County deputies and an Oregon State Patrol officer in the aftermath of a fatal shooting last June.
The lawsuit, brought by lawyers representing the family, seems to reveal details that were not part of the initial story told by police.
According to court documents, Derrick Clark, the man who was shot and killed, was allegedly left lying on the ground for two hours after the incident, while numerous nearby officers failed to provide aid.
The lawsuit alleges that:
“Rather than provide Mr. Clark with medical care, the law enforcement officers proceeded to laugh, make jokes, refer to Mr. Clark as an animal and a boy, launch explosives at his motionless body, and released a police dog to bite his body.”
