Judge rules Portland teen not guilty after phone video contradicts police

“Circuit Judge Diana Stuart ruled that Thai Gurule, a Roosevelt High School sophomore, didn’t resist arrest. He also didn’t strangle and assault police officers, she said.  In a strongly worded decision, which took more than 15 minutes to read aloud, the judge said the officers put Gurule at significant risk of injury in ‘a melee of fists and punches and bodies falling upon him.’  The judge said that although police at first might have intended to be gentle with Gurule as they took him into custody, their actions turned into ‘a senseless and aggressive’ show of excessive force.  The judge had previously ruled that police committed an unlawful stop of Gurule.”
