Just hours after the body camera footage was released, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office said it has dismissed the cases "in the interest of justice."

MINNEAPOLIS — After body camera footage was released Tuesday alleging excessive force by Minneapolis Police, charges have been dropped against the people arrested in the video.

Community activists held a news conference Tuesday to release the body camera footage, saying that it shows the victims being brutalized by MPD officers.

The footage, which is from an incident on Aug. 11, 2019, shows officers respond to a domestic call at a home on Thomas Avenue North. Officers can be seen arriving and speaking with the 911 caller, who says her daughters pushed and bit her.

The video shows officers going to the door and asking people to come outside. The footage is at times dark and shaky, but there is a subsequent confrontation between officers and siblings Champaigne Lynn Hale, Brandy Gloria Adams and Leonadis John Evans, who eventually all end up outside in the yard.

At one point, an officer can be seen apparently repeatedly using a taser on Hale and Evans, who are sitting on the ground against a fence, screaming. Hale can be heard repeatedly yelling "please stop," and Evans can be heard urging the officer to stop, saying, "she's on the ground."

According to criminal complaints filed against Hale and Evans, prosecutors said Hale pushed two officers, causing one to fall down, and refused to comply with commands after an officer deployed his taser on her. The complaint states that Hale at one point kicked an officer in the face, and that Evans kicked an officer in the head while the officer struggled with Hale.

The complaint says that Evans came "charging" out of the house and wrestled with an officer before being handcuffed. He can be heard on the video saying "Don't touch my sister."

The complaint also states that Adams fought with one of the officers. According to prosecutors, "All three parties appeared very intoxicated and belligerent."

Officers can be seen on body camera after the incident, talking to one another. One says, "This doesn't work anymore, huh?" And another replies, "I know, the Taser did not f---ing work."

At a news conference Tuesday morning, representatives from the Minneapolis Urban League, the NAACP Twin Cities and the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization said that the video shows "racist behavior" by police.

"I have never in my entire life witnessed any case like this one, out of 54 years of looking at victims and people in hospitals," said Spike Moss of Freedom Now Freedom Last. "I have never witnessed a police riot, is what you saw. A police riot filled with hate and racism toward people of color."

"To see the excessive Tasering, the excessive brutality upon this family is beyond me," said Alicia Smith, executive director of the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization. "You could hear the screams, the agony, and the looks on their faces at about the seven-minute mark, you see one of the officers shine a flashlight on Champaigne and Lee and you just see this look of fear and death upon her, as if she didn't know if she was gonna get up from the stoop at her house. And that was enough for me."

Those advocates called on the Hennepin County Attorney's Office to drop the charges against the family, and issue them an apology for excessive force.

Just hours after the body camera footage was released, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office issued a statement saying that it has dismissed three cases involving Hale, Evans and Adams "in the interest of justice."
