After his violent arrest in April, Timothy Williams, 40, thought he was getting to be railroaded by the system that savagely attacked and imprisoned him during a police response to an audible alarm.

Williams, who had nothing to try to to with the alarm going off, was stopped by police and savagely beaten while handcuffed.

For months, nobody believed him, but now, the video has been released and therefore the officer who apportioned horrifying violence on a handcuffed man has been charged.

According to police, they detained Williams that night because they found him while responding to the alarm going off.

When police searched him, they found a toy gun during a holster.

When police searched his shirt, they claim a glass pipe fell out of his pocket and Williams ran.

Williams said that being surrounded by seven cops frightened him, so he took off running.

He didn't run far and when he realized the futile nature of his actions, Williams stopped, put his hands up and laid on his stomach to be handcuffed.

"I was just thinking maybe wellwhen I hand over they'll just put the handcuffs on me and I'll just face the fees that they are getting to charge me with. I didn't think that i might be put in handcuffs and obtain beaten and still need to face charges too," Williams said.

Despite the entire lack of resistance, laying face-first on the bottom , and getting handcuffed without incident, Williams was brutally beaten by a minimum of two officers.

Williams pleaded guilty on July 17 to flight from a politician and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Community members urged Williams to seek out an attorney and follow up together with his case, so he did.

Williams said his pastor played a key role in helping him get justice.

"When nobody else believed in me, they believed in me. My pastor believed in me when nobody else believed in me. this might be anyone else, I might be dead immediately . Through the grace of God I'm here," said Timothy Williams, victim.

Now, a minimum of one among the officers who attacked the handcuffed man is facing accountability.

Monroe policeman Jared Preston DeSadier, 42, was arrested last month on two felony charges, including malfeasance in office and second-degree battery.

This week, the video was released, showing why DeSadier must be in jail.

"Today's release of the body cam footage of the incident is one among several steps we shall fancy ensure transparency during this process and to take care of public confidence within the City's commitment to make sure that each one citizens are treated equally," said Monroe Mayor Ellis.

"The citizens of Monroe expect the very best degree of professionalism from all our employees, including cops and that we will still work to form sure that we meet those expectations."

"Well, obviously it had been very very disturbing what we saw. If you look closely, you will see the kick within the face and other parts of the beating," said Donecia Banks-Miley, an attorney for Williams.

In a statement from the town of Monroe, they say, "Transparency regarding the treatment of Mr. Williams has been our over-arching goal since this administration became conscious of his encounter with two patrol officers of the Monroe local department we'll keep our process as transparent to the general public as possible within the bounds of an ongoing criminal and internal affairs investigation."

While bodycam footage has been released, Timothy's attorneys say they have more video and pictures of Timothy's face after the incident happened.

"We've only seen some of 1 body cam. we would like to clarify that for everybody else. That we only saw some of 1 then there are a minimum of three to four other bodycams that we are requesting to be released at this point ," said Banks-Miley.

According to BRProud.com, Timothy's counsel says this is often just the start and that they will see it to the top .

It won't end until police reform is put into place.

"We need a uniform complaint system that must be put in situ in order that folks that are afraid to return forward aren't afraid to travel to the folks that work with an equivalent person who may have used the excessive force against them," said Kristen B. Pleasant, co-counsel.
