Oh, so it's different when it happens to him, huh?

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – A police officer is filing a lawsuit against the city of Coral Gables and two other officers after he said he was demoted and his professional reputation seriously damaged. 

It was November of 2018 when Ben Guerrero said two off-duty officers working security at Hillstone Restaurant in Coral Gables yanked him from a bar stool and dragged him outside. He was arrested, charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence. Guerrero said neither of those things happened. 

“What happened to me was a crime,” Guerrero said. “They perp walked me through the restaurant in handcuffs.”

Makes me wonder how many people he's 'perp walked' out of somewhere not caring that the person was protesting that they were innocent.
