The man, who's Hispanic, is also levying claims of racial-profiling in his 2021 encounter with officers. An officers' union, though, questions the timing of the legal action.
Alberto Ramos is suing the Houston Police Department and five officers after he claims they "hog-tied" him during a July 2021 arrest.A Hispanic man is suing Houston police officers, alleging that they targeted him based on his race and then "hog-tied" him despite signs that he was in distress.
Ramos, 27, is suing the officers, alleging civil rights violations, according to his attorney, Kiah Duggins of Civil Rights Corps.Ramos was just walking on the sidewalk, the lawsuit claims, in the 500 block of Welch, when an officer, who was looking for a Hispanic male suspect after a 911 call, approached him. Duggins, who shared photos of Ramos with his family, said police had no probable cause to initiate contact, but then it got worse.
"There are certain times when we need to restrain a combative suspect. There are different variables and factors in the times that they are used and, as long as it's done correctly, it is a process the department does still utilize," Ken Nealy, 1st Vice President of the Houston Police Officers' Union, explained."A lawsuit has been filed, it will work its way through the legal system. The City of Houston has no comments at this time.
"He didn't file any complaint against our officers, not through the IA Department, and I think by waiting until the last possible moment to lodge this federal lawsuit, it shows it's pretty much a waste of the court's time," Nealy said.
