He was found not guilty of excessive force for pulling out his firearm and pointing it at the others. Carolin also took issue with Hegedus’ decision not to find Lourenco guilty of excessive force for pulling out his firearm. Hegedus found both officers guilty of unlawful arrest of two of the boys, but not of the boy who was punched. But Hegedus said he could not infer from the evidence that the boys’ race influenced the officers’ actions. Brhanu was one of the two boys the tribunal found had been unlawfully arrested by Lourenco and Pais.
