Two officers indicted after violent encounter with middle school student

WBRZ-2 (ABC) -- A West Baton Rouge grand jury has indicted two officers accused of using excessive force on 14-year-old Isaiah Johnson in October, but the boy's family believes the charges aren't harsh enough.

Johnson's family claimed the school misled them about the incident and accused the staff and officers of mishandling the teen, who they say is medicated for behavioral problems.

Both officers resigned from the department in November after an investigation into the incident began.
