[h=1]Man files civil rights suit against DPD officers[/h]
A North Texas man has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of Dallas and three police officers.
The city admits that the officers broke the rules and has offered a settlement, but Sherrard Taylor and his attorney say the offer is an insult.
“After I gave him my license, he asked me what do I do, and I told him, ‘I’m a truck driver and it’s here listed on my CHL,’” said Taylor. “And that’s when he looked at me. He was just like, ‘Where the drugs?’”
That’s when Taylor gave Salas his concealed handgun license and when he says Aquino piped up.
“I refused to allow him to search and he was saying things like, ‘Well, I'll just take you to jail so I can search your car anyway,’” said Taylor.
That’s what happened. Taylor’s car was torn apart on the side of the road while he goes to jail for the charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon.
“[I had] never been to jail,” said Taylor. “Horrible experience. Never forget it. I will never forget it.”
