Menomonee Falls police accused of excessive force in arrest of 13-year-old boyThe Menomonee Falls Police Department said Thursday that the use of force was necessary and justified.MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. —A 13-year-old boy and his attorney are threatening to file a lawsuit against the Menomonee Falls Police Department, alleging officers used excessive force during the boy's arrest on May 21. Body camera footage released Thursday shows three officers arriving at the boy's home with plans to take him to the police station for questioning. The confrontation escalated quickly, and a family member recorded part of the incident on their phone. "We have three officers who are attacking a 13-year-old boy." Attorney William Sulton, who is representing the boy, said.The footage shows officers attempting to take the boy into custody. At one point, a voice can be heard saying, "Don't put your hands on his throat." Sulton alleged the officers became "too physical with the boy," saying they were "choking him and pressing his head into the ground." The Menomonee Falls Police Department released a statement alongside the body camera footage, saying, "The officers in this investigation remained calm, continually requested the juvenile's cooperation, and only used the level of force that was necessary to take him into custody. Consequently, it is our department's conclusion that the officers' actions in this incident were both reasonable and justified." Sulton disagrees with the department's assessment and is considering legal action. "The legal claims will focus on the Fourth Amendment and the fact that excessive force was used," Sulton said. He also called for the officers involved to be fired, stating, "Number one, he suffered some physical pain, and although the physical pain has dissipated, the emotional pain has not." Sulton said the lawsuit could be weeks away from being filed, but he noted that the body camera footage released Thursday has redacted audio. He said he needs access to the unredacted audio before the lawsuit can be officially filed.
