Police footage of the 2018 incident shows officers pinned Black down for more than five minutes as they handcuffed him and shackled his legs as his body eventually went limp. His mother stood nearby, yelling his name and begging for him to respond. He was later pronounced dead. “It is staggering how much was done wrong in this case that was improper, illegal, unethical and disgraceful,” attorney Ken Ravenell, who represents the family, said in a statement. “But today we took a bold step towards justice for Anton Black and against the police officers who took his life and also against those who were complicit in covering up the injustice.”
