The police received a call that a suspicious, skinny, black man in a knit hat was wandering the neighborhood. Sureshbhai Patel's son had brought his father to the United States from India so that the man could help care for his new grandchild. Because Mr. Patel couldn't speak English, he didn't understand the police speaking to him so the police threw him to the ground. If you look at the second video, it looks like he actually went up in the air a bit.
The governor of Alabama is issuing an apology but I don't know how that will help with the family's medical bills now.
According to the lawyer, Patel was not digging in people's trash but I am not certain why anyone would think that was a good explanation for the cop's actions even if he was looking in other people's trashcans.

Quote:The Patel family's lawyer Hank Sherrod refuted claims that Sureshbhai was checking out people's garages or that he was on private property.
