An Alabama business owner who was punched in the face by a police officer when he called authorities to his store two years ago has filed a federal lawsuit against Decatur and the officer.

This still image was taken from a video showing business owner Kevin Penn punched by Decatur police.when he called officers to his store two years ago has filed a federal lawsuit.

According to the suit, Penn removed the clip from the gun and put it on the counter when officers arrived, actions that were confirmed by video. The officers, including Rippen, knew Penn was the store owner. When the officers shouted about the gun, he said he had put it down, then told him he would file a complaint.

In the nine-page suit filed, Penn says the incident was “consistent with and reflective of a pre-existing policy and custom of tolerance for constitutional violations by officers, including illegal seizures, illegal searches, false arrests, and excessive force.”
