Surveillance video footage taken at MidState Medical Center in January, 2011, shows Meriden Police Officer Evan Cossette punching a Meriden man in the parking lot, according to several news reports. The video is part of a police brutality lawsuit filed by the man, Joseph Bryans, 31, of Meriden. A police department internal investigation cleared Cossette, the police chief's son, of the charges.
