Another victim of police misconduct has filed suit against the Seattle Police Department.

Mark Hays, who you may remember from this video, has filed suit against SPD in US District Court, seeking damages for injuries sustained during his violent November 2007 arrest, after Hays and another man jaywalked in front of an unmarked SPD vehicle in the University District.

In his suit, Hays—who appears to be representing himself, which is rarely a good sign—also says several public records requests sent to the department about his case have been wrongfully denied.
Hays also accuses the department of "conspiring to deny a proper investigation" into a misconduct complaint filed with the Office of Professional Accountability after his arrest.

In February 2008, Hays was convicted of obstruction and assaulting an officer during the incident, but an OPA investigation also sustained a misconduct complaint against one of the officers at the scene.

Hays is seeking $750,000 in damages.
