A woman who said she was
beaten when she tried to record an alleged incident of police brutality last
week plans to set off an investigation through the Houston
Police Department, said one of the activists behind the effort.
Annika Lewis, 26, went to
HPD headquarters Monday to obtain documents that she planned to file with the
department's internal affairs division on Tuesday, activist Deric
Muhammad said.
The decision came as police representatives declined
to respond to specific questions about the alleged incident.
"For this incident to be
investigated they need to file an internal affairs division complaint," HPD
spokesman Victor
Senties said.
Muhammad said the family was in contact with the FBI
about an investigation into excessive use of force.
