Suspect Derrick A. Price didn't spit, didn't kick, didn't threaten. He knelt and then lay on the pavement, hands outstretched, when arrested by sheriff's deputies in a community south of Ocala.
Then he was beaten.
"Stop resisting!" at least one deputy called out, as Price reacted to the blows.
Five ex-Marion County deputies now face possible prison terms. As they captured Price, video captured their conduct.
A federal grand jury in Tampa charged the last of the disgraced lawmen late Tuesday, accusing Jesse Alan Terrell, 33, of violating Price's civil rights.
Four of Terrell's former colleagues had already pleaded guilty to the crime after accepting plea agreements.
Price, 44, is black. The deputies are white.
Graphic video of the beating, which went on for at least 30 seconds, was made public for the first time on Wednesday, prompting Price's attorneys to release a statement asking for calm.
