A federal lawsuit was filed this week alleging that excessive use of force and indifference by Stamford police resulted in the death of a mentally ill 23-year-old man in 2019.
Steven Barrier’s family, their lawyer and the Connecticut Legal Rights Project said the city’s policies led to indifference to Barrier’s need for treatment.
In police body camera video released by the Stamford state’s attorney, some of Barrier s last words can be heard as he tells police he can’t get up and is too tired to walk while officers shout at him. He died that night in police custody.
