Michael A. Ofor v. Steven Lecy and City of Minneapolis
Officer Lecy threw Plaintiff to the ground after Plaintiff was in handcuffs. Officer Lecy also stated that “all you Native Americans are nothing but fucking animals.” Plaintiff said during his deposition that he suffered neck stiffness and emotional distress as a result of Officer Lecy’s excessive force and racist remark. In exchange for Plaintiff’s agreement to dismiss his claim for infliction of emotional distress, Defendants agreed not to bring a motion for summary judgment.
