Man who saw Sterling's unlawful killing said the Police stole his surveillance video and locked him up in the car for 4 hours
Abdullah Muflahi, the store owner who had a surveillance video of the Baton Rouge shooting of Alton Sterling by Police officers told a Baton Rouge District court in a lawsuit that police took his cellphone and locked him in a car for four hours, and then stole the surveillance video that shows the inhuman killing of Baton Rougue from his store.
Abdullah Muflahi is seeking damages for unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, illegal taking and seizing of his security system and illegally commandeering his business. Those named in the law suit were Police officers Blane Salamoni, Howie Lake, Robert Cook and Timothy Ballard, as well as the city of Baton Rouge and Police Chief Carl Dabadi.
Abdullah Muflahi said “I felt like a criminal at the time, and there's one of the detectives that I knocked on the window and told him it was really hot and I asked if I could sit outside by the car. And he just got really angry and started saying ‘you need to chill the f--k out until we get this because we're handling something right now,’” Muflahi told the Daily News.
“It wasn't right and I shouldn't have been treated like I was the one who shot the guy. They didn't handcuff me or read me any rights. They just put me in the back of a car. The seat was really hot and it felt like I was sitting on hot coals.”
Joel Porter, Muflahi’s attorney said the police acted like the police in North Korea.
