Harvey. 24, with one side of
his face swollen to the extent
an eye was closed and w ith the
other side showing it had come
in contact with a mauling
object, related to The CARO
LINIAN an unbelievable story
as to how he was treated by
Michael Hunter, the black
officer, and M S. W'illiam.son
He began by saying that his
younger brother. David. Jr..
18. and himself were preparing
to leave the night spot, when
one officer pointed to David
and said. •That's the one." He
alleged that David was .sealed
in the car and that one of the
officers pulled him out and
proceeded to unbraid him
According to Harvey, both
officers began beating’David,
Harvey alleged that he became
terribly concerned and went to
the aid of the youth and when
they continued, he proceeded
to try to stop the irate officers.
He admitted that he pushed one
of them and perhaps might
have struck one of them. He
said any part he might have
taken in the melee was
provoked by the fact that the
officers were beating his
brother unmercifully. He also
related how they handcuffed
him and continued to beat him.
They placed Harvey under
arrest, along with hi>’brother.
