According to allegations in court records, Devens violated Wesley Allen Lewis’ constitutional right to be “free from the use of unreasonable force” and then erased a portion of a dashboard camera videotape of the incident, thus obstructing justice.

Devens later told state investigators that he had become angry because Lewis had endangered a woman and child by having them in his truck during a high-speed chase that preceded the beating.

He also acknowledged erasing a portion of the tape because he realized that the sheriff’s department might be liable for his conduct and did not want to become the subject of unfavorable publicity.

A video camera in a nearby Kearney police car captured images of the beating.

For us, the American ideal is personified in the concept of self-reliance, work ethic, honesty/forthrightness, decency, personal property rights, family, religion, an ability to defend oneself from criminals and crooked politicians, and personal responsibility.
