College Student Beaten by LAPD Outside Hollywood Club

A Santa Monica college student is suing the Los Angeles Police Department for use of excessive force, alleging that officers beat and tased him despite the fact that he was unarmed and not resisting arrest.

Aibuidefe Oghogho, who was 23 years old at the time, claims that a 2010 arrest outside a Hollywood nightclub over public consumption of alcohol escalated into a multiple-officer beatdown, reports CBS2.

Security footage of the night in question, Oct. 22, shows that Oghogho was holding a beer bottle wrapped in a paper bag. He and his friend were crossing the street when an unmarked police car slowed to approach him.
