"A surveillance video has been released showing a Rutland police officer using force on a suspect who was cuffed and behind bars.     The 40-minute video was recorded in January and shows former Rutland police Officer Michael Nesshoever firing a pepperball gun repeatedly at Jamek Hart, 26, while in a holding cell.\nClick To Comment\n\n     The video also shows Hart lying on the floor with his pants down and what appears to be a bag over his head as officers look on.\n Nesshoever resigned on Feb. 26 after an internal investigation.     Now, he and the city of Rutland will likely face a civil lawsuit.     Attorney Mark Furlan, who's representing Hart, said it could be a few weeks before he officially files the paperwork in Rutland Superior Court.\"It's just a civil allegation that he knowingly and intentionally violated Mr. Hart's civil rights. It's not a criminal charge, it's a civil lawsuit,\" said Furlan.     Both Mayor Chris Louras and the city attorney refused to comment on the videotape, saying it's a personnel matter and part of a criminal investigation.The incident is the latest black eye for a department that has been plagued by scandal in recent weeks.Recently another officer, David Schauwecker, was charged by state police after a lengthy child porn investigation."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
