57 year-old Floyd Dent was pulled over by Inkster, Michigan police and violently assaulted.  The traffic stop, caught on video, shows the African-American Dent being stopped by police, then approached by an armed officer.  Dent is then taken out of his car, and immediately placed on the ground in a chokehold. 

Once in the chokehold and on the ground, an officer proceeds to hit Mr. Dent 16 times in the head.  Dent was also kicked and tasered 3 times.  He was bloodied by the incident.

A judge saw the video and dismissed multiple charges.  The judge said that there was no evidence of Dent fleeing the police, or resisting arrest.

Dent is still facing a cocaine charge stemming from the traffic stop.  Police claim to have found the drugs in his car, while Dent says they were planted.  It's interesting to note that one of the officers involved in the incident has been charged previously with falsifying reports and planting evidence.  Click link below to watch video:
