2014, Lamar Ferguson was walking home from
a hospital visit with his pregnant girlfriend, when
Thao and Thunder approached, told him he looked
suspicious, to hand over his weapons and arrested
him for an outstanding warrant.
Turned out he had no weapons. no drugs, and no
outstanding warrant... but that didnt stop the officers
giving him broken teeth, subluxation, injuries requiring
stitches and other hospital treatment over four days stay.
The city settled out of court and Thao only admitted
to punching Furgeson when his hand allegedly slipped
out of the cuff.
Ferguson alleged they threw him to the ground cuffed
and beat up on him, Thao being the most aggressive
of the two officers.
that might explain his indifference to how his partner
Shauvin treated Floyd.
