From [HERE] A white Houston police officer smashed a Black man's head into a jail cell door and put him in a neck hold until the bleeding man passed out, according to a lawsuit.

Reuben Williams accused Officer S. Corral of excessive force following his DUI arrest in a lawsuit filed Sunday against Corral and the city of Houston. Williams faces a charge of felony harassment of a public servant after police said he started it by spitting on Corral in November 2014.

Police conducted an investigation, and a Harris County grand jury declined to charge the officer. Yet Williams’ attorney, Randall Kallinen, alleged in the lawsuit that the lack of charges fit a larger pattern around police conduct in the Houston area.

“Despite changes occurring nation-wide Houston has chosen to remain in the Dark Ages when it comes to curtailing excessive force and police misconduct transparency,” Kallinen said in a statement.

“Cops can do whatever they want because this video was never supposed to surface," Williams said.

The Harris County grand jury cleared the officer in June 2015. Corral later received counseling, but Williams received ten stitches over one of his eyes and a permanent scar on his forehead, according to the lawsuit.
