The mother of Le'Keian Woods spoke in front of Jacksonville city council Tuesday calling for justice after video surfaced of Woods' violent arrest by JSO officers.
Woods spoke at Tuesday's City Council meeting asking for help with addressing her son's health and confinement inside the jail.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The family of a man arrested and beaten by JSO officers rallied outside city council Tuesday night and addressed council members inside chambers, speaking out against police brutality.
Attorney for Woods’ also believe the officers treated Woods violently due to his past. Woods was on felony probation at the time of his arrest and wasafter his roommate was shot during a drug robbery in Tallahassee. However, Woods pleaded down to robbery charges and was never tried for murder. “JSO needs to re-examine their use of force policy. Anything that gives justification for officers kneeing an individual in the head several times in order to gain compliance, the use of deadly force when someone poses no threat needs to be re-examined," Alphonso McClendon, an attorney representing the family, said.
