A mother in Tennessee has filed a federal lawsuit claiming that police and paramedics subjected her son to 'inhumane acts of violence' instead of providing medical treatment during a seizure. The incident involving 23-year-old Austin Hunter Turner has raised questions about the use of force by law enforcement in non-lethal situations.
The lawsuit, filed after police body-camera footage was shared with Turner's parents, challenges the official explanation that Turner died of a drug overdose. The video contradicts the police account of events inside Turner's apartment in Bristol, Tennessee.
