NEWS ALERT: @AttorneyCrump and co-counsel have filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 14-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, after Houston paramedics wrongly declared him dead and denied him emergency medical treatment, leading to a month-long hospital stay.

@Dallas_Observer @OfficialJacobV wrote a great article about how often officers lie in their reports.

Bodycam footage has been released in the death of 23-year-old Darren Boykin who died in police custody two years ago after repeatedly telling officers he was unable to breathe and was in pain.

Another life ends on the floor of a jail cell at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve. Our firm @ScottHPalmerLaw continues to hold people accountable for civil rights brutalities. #CivilRights #PoliceBrutality @DFWCivilRights @equalityAlec @TexasTribune @RexChapman

On the morning of May 14, 2017, a handcuffed and disheveled Teddy Parker was led into the Smith County Jail where he was to be booked on a public intoxication charge. About 30 minutes later, he was carried out unconscious on a stretcher. https://t.co/BGsLGPcVUc

Our civil rights team is at it again. This behavior is shameful. No one should be treated like this on a routine traffic stop. @ScottHPalmerLaw @DFWCivilRights

[James P. Roberts @DFWCivilRights]

@_delconte as a Texas alum, this is unacceptable. Herman has not gotten it done. This was supposed to be his year, with his players and his second round of coaches. I feel bad for the quarterback more than anyone as he clearly cares more than anyone. Get urban and get us back.

So it turns out the Chicago Police Department lied when they said two police officers didn't push & drag a 16-year-old girl down a set of stairs, punch her, tase her, then hold her down as they stomped on her chest.

Cause they did and there's video.

Another great result from @ScottHPalmerLaw! #dallascowboys

Another successful result for a client in Collin County. #results #ricogathers

Roger Stone was just released on a $250,000 personal assurance bond.

He does not have to put up one penny. Just to promise to pay that amount if he does not return to court.

Meanwhile, my clients are held in jail on $500 bail they cannot afford for stealing a bar of soap.

[James P. Roberts @DFWCivilRights]

We will continue to fight, as we have for almost a year, for this loving and caring mother and father.
