Few details on police incident at housing complex


Few details are being released about an incident of alleged police brutality at an Indian housing complex in Minneapolis.

Two longtime lieutenants are on leave for a May 26 incident in which a man was allegedly hit and placed in the back of a squad car unconscious. Videotape exists but neither the police nor the Little Earth of United Tribes said they will release it.

Bill Ziegler, the executive director of Little Earth, said he was confident the police will conduct a thorough investigation.
