“The video in Krause’s case shows a handcuffed Calderon tapping the window of the squad car with his foot, saying he has to urinate. Krause curses at Calderon and punches him several times in the face. As a result, Calderon suffered cuts, bruises and swelling to his face, back problems, sleep disturbances and headaches, according to court records. The injuries resulted in about $18,000 worth of medical bills, Grady’s letter says. At Krause’s sentencing hearing, his attorney argued for mercy, saying he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving two combat tours in the U.S. Army, according to court records.”
