Here's an officer with a career history wrought with abusing power, yet still on active duty.
When will LEO's be held to the standards that citizens are?
Here's an officer with a career history wrought with abusing power, yet still on active duty.
It added that "Cady's use of the word 'boy' is offensive, condescending and demeaning," and carries "racial connotations" when used to address adult black men.
Still, the "video clearly depicts Mr. Floyd attempting to de-escalate the situation as he talked to the deputy," the complaint said.
"Deputy Cady responds by grabbing Mr. Floyd by his neck and chokes him," then pushes him into a car "all while Mr. Floyd is holding his infant child," the public defender's filing said.
"This video depicts a clear display of police abuse," said the complaint, which was sent to the Broward County Sheriff's Office and called for an investigation into the incident.
In another wrongful arrest suit brought against Cady in 2010, he was "found liable for tasering, tackling and beating an individual," according to the Broward Public Defender’s Office. The victim in that case was awarded $250,000 in damages, according to court documents.
Cady has twice been investigated for "conduct unbecoming an employee" by the Broward County Sheriff's Office's division of internal affairs, according to department records. He was cleared of wrongdoing in a 2003 investigation and suspended for one day as a result of a 2010 investigation.
Cady is currently on full duty, a sheriff's office spokeswoman told NBC News.
