    Officer Cody Grimes has a history of misconduct, including firing at a television cameraman in 2010, attacking a groom at a wedding in 2011, and assaulting his girlfriend in 2013. He was fired in 2014 but reinstated in 2015. In 2016, Grimes was sued for excessive force after attacking Charles Young, a 63-year-old Army veteran, who had called police for assistance. Young sustained fractured ribs, and the lawsuit alleges violations of constitutional rights. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/general-news-e146c71e1a634abd95a3a3c57efcf4f9?utm_source=openai))

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
