The Galveston Police Department on Wednesday released the body cam footage of the controversial arrest of Donald Neely two months ago.
'It's going to look really bad': Body cam footage released in controversial Galveston arrest
GALVESTON, Texas ? The Galveston Police Department on Wednesday released the body cam footage of the controversial arrest of Donald Neely two months ago. What happened
Neely -- a 43-year-old homeless black man with a mental illness, according to family members -- was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing on Aug. 3.
His arrest went viral after a video emerged of two white officers -- Officer P. Brosch and Officer A. Smith -- with the Galveston Police Department walking Neely by a rope while they rode horseback.
The arrest sparked outrage in the community....

I found this story looking for news on the woman injured at Bank of America. They have systemic problems in that city as far as dealing with mental illness and pandemic strife and stress. They aren't alone but they can do better.
The lawsuit comes after Donald Neely was arrested and led by mounted officers in Galveston, Texas, by what appeared to be a rope in 2019.
"Ketterman told CNN that Neely filed the lawsuit to make sure that no one else goes through the same thing.
"Donald wants people to know that this lawsuit isn't just about money," she wrote in an email to CNN. "It's about what is right and wrong for all people -- whether they are black or white or whether they suffer from mental illness or whether they are homeless or not."
City has since stopped using technique for transport
The lawsuit claims that the officers injured Neely and caused him emotional distress. It also alleges that they acted maliciously and negligently while arresting him at a US Post Office. The lawsuit is seeking damages of more than $1 million.
Another attorney for Neely has previously said he has bipolar disorder and was homeless for several years. The Houston Chronicle reported that Neely eventually moved in with his sister and received medical treatment."
