Bodycam Reveals Truth: White Deputy's Assault on Black Man Over False Claims Sparks Lawsuit

A Washington sheriff's deputy, Samuel Turner, was recorded falsely accusing Joshua Clark, an innocent Black man, of assault after attacking him. The incident occurred on October 1, 2023, as Clark sat in his parked van. Turner later muted his body camera for nearly six minutes while fabricating a narrative to justify his actions. Clark is now suing Turner, Spokane's police chief, and the city, claiming violations of his Fourth Amendment rights. All charges against him were dismissed five months later.
