Police brutality alleged at Indian housing complex


Two longtime police lieutenants were placed on leave following allegations of brutality at an Indian housing complex, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The alleged victim is a man who was involved in a fight at the Little Earth housing complex on May 26. Police responded to the fight and somehow Juan T. Vasquez ended up unconscious in the back of a squad car with the windows rolled up, his father said.

The incident was videotaped and is being reviewed. A news conference is being held this morning to discuss the allegations.
