......

A newly released video shows a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy violently throwing a transgender man to the ground during a traffic stop allegedly over an air freshener, though the man’s attorney said it was payback for the driver flipping off the deputy.

......

The man, identified as Emmett Brock, screams for help while pinned face-down beneath the deputy, who shouts for him to put his hands behind his back.

“I can’t, you have my hand!” Brock repeatedly shouts. “I’m not resisting. Stop, stop!”

Brock’s attorney said he was repeatedly punched in his head, resulting in a concussion.

......

Brock was taken into custody on charges of mayhem, causing serious injury to a deputy, resisting arrest and failing to obey a lawful order. While being booked into a holding cell, he was forced to physically expose himself to the staff after they questioned his gender. He was ultimately placed among women

......

Beck said the incident was retaliatory because it followed Brock making an obscene gesture at the sheriff’s deputy on the side of the road. He did this because he saw the deputy having a heated discussion with a woman.

......

The entire incident was reviewed through the Sheriff’s department’s force review progress and the deputy was cleared of wrongdoing. His use of force was described as “objectively reasonable” by one sergeant
