A man who says he was beaten by a now-fired Antioch police officer is sharing his story.
Terry Robinson spoke to KTVU from his family's retail clothing store in Oakland.
He said they were driving to their mother's home in Antioch when then officer Matthew Nutt pulled them over. In the body cam video, Robinson can be heard saying, "I'm just the passenger" and the officer replying,"I know, but I need to verify you have a license to see if someone can actually drive this thing."It began as a traffic stop for a missing license plate that quickly took a turn after the officer ran Robinson's driver's license.
Robinson said the situation escalated when he refused to get into the police car, "I didn't feel safe going anywhere with him. I didn't feel safe so that's why I didn't get into the cruiser with him." The videos showed the officer repeatedly kicking and punching Robinson who was handcuffed. "Probably 10 different officers out there. Ain't none of them hitting me or punching me. What makes you think it's okay to do that?" said Robinson.
