Before Giovanni Loyola was arrested in February 2020, he enjoyed using his hands and worked mainly in construction. Now the 26-year-old is unable to fasten his own belt or tie his shoes, his attorney said.

Loyola had segments of fingers removed in several operations last year, and doctors ultimately had to amputate his entire left hand. According to a federal civil rights complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama last month, the amputation was the result of injuries sustained from being left for hours in overly tight handcuffs after a disorderly-conduct arrest.

Hes depressed really depressed. He wont leave his house, Jon Goldfarb, Loyolas attorney, told The Washington Post on Wednesday.

In an interview with AL.com, Loyola said he watched with fear as he noticed his fingers turning blue, then black, after his release from jail.

It really scared me, and I havent been the same since, he told the outlet.

These brutal police dog attacks were captured on video. Now some cities are curtailing K-9 use.

Now Loyola is seeking damages against a sheriffs deputy alleged to have handcuffed him and a chance for a jury to hear his case. The lawsuit names Jefferson County sheriffs deputy Godber as the defendant. County records list Christopher Godber as a deputy with the office.

Reached by phone Wednesday, the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office said it does not comment on pending litigation and declined to discuss the lawsuit.

The 14-page federal complaint alleges Godber violated Loyolas constitutional rights by using excessive force and conducting an unlawful arrest.

Jefferson County sheriffs deputies responded to calls of gunshots and a fight shortly after 11 p.m. Feb. 16, 2020, at a Birmingham trailer park, according to the lawsuit and the police report. One caller said two men were fighting outside a residence and had large weapons, police said.

When Godber and two other deputies arrived at the scene, they knocked on the door of Loyolas mothers home and he answered. The police report and the lawsuit offer contrasting narratives of the scene: According to police, officers asked to check on others in the home and asked Loyola to step outside, but he refused and became combative and pushed Godber away, which prompted officers to restrain him.

According to the lawsuit, Loyola was watching TV at home and there had been no disturbances when deputies arrived. When Loyola answered the door, the lawsuit says, they reached across the threshold and pulled him outside the home, threw him against a car and the ground, and later searched the property despite having no warrant or cause to detain Loyola.

The lawsuit said Loyola was handcuffed on the ground with Godber placing his knee into Loyolas back as the other deputies performed a safety sweep of the home, despite Maribel Perez, Loyolas mother and the only other occupant, being outside the home.

Perez estimated that her son was handcuffed on the ground for at least 45 minutes, according to Goldfarb, the attorney.

Loyola immediately began to lose feeling in one hand, but Godber refused to loosen the handcuffs when he complained, the lawsuit says. Loyola was eventually taken to jail on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

It was not immediately clear from the lawsuit or the police report how long Loyola was in handcuffs, though the complaint estimated that it was hours before they were removed at the jail. He remained in jail until Feb. 28, 2020, serving time for outstanding warrants on traffic violations.

Loyola went to the hospital immediately after his release and was referred for surgery. He had two of his fingertips removed but continued to wake up with pain and noticed his fingers were turning colors. Over the next several months, he underwent four more operations, including his hand amputation.

That his damages are so severe is what makes this case so powerful, Goldfarb said. But it could have easily been avoided and never should have happened.

i wish the damages came out of the police budget rather than the taxpayers directly. something that would make cops stop doing horrible shit like this and just walking away with barely any punishment

So I don't really have much to say on the actual story, which sounds horrific, but the actual medical side of the story doesn't actually make much sense to me. The implication is that he had critical limb ischemia, but that wouldn't take several weeks to manifest, and would be extremely easy to diagnose on his very first hospital visit. Reading between the lines, it almost sounds like the operations themselves may have been responsible for needing an amputation. Noticing that your fingers are changing colors is usually a sign of vasospasm (Raynaud's phenomenon) which can be triggered by compression and cold weather, but is typically transient.

Unfortunately, the story doesn't give very much information, but if I were to take a stab at it, I suspect he probably developed gangrene or osteomyelitis from one of the surgeries, resulting in the amputation. Whether or not the original handcuffing ultimately led to the first surgery, I honestly can't tell, but the story as it's presented is rather poorly summarized.

Get a ring doorbell and NEVER open the door for the police.
If you're concerned about the cops, do not buy a Ring.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/18/amazon-ring-largest-civilian-surveillance-network-us
Not only is Rings surveillance network spreading rapidly, it is extending the reach of law enforcement into private property and expanding the surveillance of everyday life. Whats more, once Ring users agree to release video content to law enforcement, there is no way to revoke access and few limitations on how that content can be used, stored, and with whom it can be shared.
...
Then theres this: since Amazon bought Ring in 2018, it has brokered more than 1,800 partnerships with local law enforcement agencies, who can request recorded video content from Ring users without a warrant. That is, in as little as three years, Ring connected around one in 10 police departments across the US with the ability to access recorded content from millions of privately owned home security cameras. These partnerships are growing at an alarming rate.
Data Ive collected from Rings quarterly reported numbers shows that in the past year through the end of April 2021, law enforcement have placed more than 22,000 individual requests to access content captured and recorded on Ring cameras. Rings cloud-based infrastructure (supported by Amazon Web Services) makes it convenient for law enforcement agencies to place mass requests for access to recordings without a warrant. Because Ring cameras are owned by civilians, law enforcement are given a backdoor entry into private video recordings of people in residential and public space that would otherwise be protected under the fourth amendment. By partnering with Amazon, law enforcement circumvents these constitutional and statutory protections, as noted by the attorney Yesenia Flores. In doing so, Ring blurs the line between police work and civilian surveillance and turns your neighbors home security system into an informant. Except, unlike an informant, its always watching.
Rings pervasive network of cameras expands the dragnet of everyday pre-emptive surveillance a dragnet that surveils anyone who passes into its gaze, whether a suspect in a crime or not.

Holy fuck. I've worn handcuffs plenty but didnt realize it was possible for a cop to do that...

Glad the cops back in my hometown knew me well enough to stop cuffing me eventually

I legit lived next to the police station so it eventually turned into them telling me stay home for the rest of the night and left after saying "Lokison, you're under arrest, were leaving now". Teenage years were great lol.

Why would this article be of surprise to anyone? Not only are you putting internet-connected cameras throughout your entire home, but you're literally buying them from the largest megacorporation of all time whose influence dwarfs the literal government's.

I know I'm writing this as my internet-connected cell phone with a front-facing camera is sitting in front of me, so hypocrisy thy name is PatrickMahomes, but at least I've come to accept what I'm getting into by owning a piece of technology that is absolutely recording and listening to everything I say and do.

I just read the medical licensing page for Alabama and it sounds like all you need is to graduate from med school and - maybe - complete a residency to qualify - no exam. In Illinois you take boards and unless you grandfathered in decades ago you retake boards every 10 years in specialties like trauma room medicine.

I mean, you do have to pass the USMLE. Board exams are issued by the various specialty boards, but I'm pretty sure you have to pass the USMLE to practice medicine in the United States. Or the COMLEX if you are a DO, I suppose.

In any case, I don't doubt that the handcuffs probably triggered this whole process, I just kind of wish that the article was a bit more detailed.

They can take their time just to make it hurt, but this longform, delayed body part removal is a new kind of perversion.
