The city of Lakeland is denying a request from the NAACP to release police body cam video of a confrontation between at least two officers and a teenager this past Memorial Day. Community activists accuse officers of overreacting when they arrested 16-year-old Jahmal Hudson and say releasing that video would help address transparency concerns. “All I ask, and I think all that the community asks, is to be as transparent as possible,” Lakeland NAACP Branch President Terry Coney said. Coney asked city leaders to release any police body cam video of or leading up to a Memorial Day confrontation between two officers and 16-year-old Jamal Hudson. “In our digital world, and social media world, that video has gone viral around,” Coney said. “...I got multiple calls and texts from all over.” The video has, again, brought allegations of police brutality at Lakeland PD, where, this past weekend, dozens protested — demanding answers and accountability. “I think they really need to look deeper into the training and de-escalation that our officers get,” Coney said.
