ORLANDO (CBSMiami) – The attorneys for a South Florida man who claims he is the victim of police brutality have taken legal action against Orlando Police officers.

Noel Carter, along with his attorneys filed complaints with the State Attorney's Office saying he wants charges filed against two Orlando police officers for this.

During an arrest, Carter, who is from Hollywood, said the officers beat and kicked him repeatedly, while he sat on a curb.

"The actions captured by the bystanders video are an accurate representation of the abuses inflicted upon me by Officer Cruz and Officer Mays while I was seated with my hands raised on the curb," said Carter.

The Orlando Police Chief John Mina was asked for his reaction to his officer's actions caught on camera. In the video, you can see Carter being kicked and tased.

"Our officers are trained extensively even more so than what the state requires," said Mina.

He also says there are now three separate videos showing parts of what happened last Thursday at Venue 578 in Downtown Orlando. He said he is not rushing to judgment. In fact, he says until the investigation is complete the officers will remain on the job.

"Based on what I know now, I have no reason to take them off the street. Based on the totality of the circumstances and that includes the videos and the witness statements," said Mina.

Carter's attorneys say that is not good enough.

"If it were you or I that kicked someone and used a weapon against them while they were sitting passively, we would be arrested. That does not happen to the police," said Attorney Natalie Jackson.

As for why police were initially called out to where Carter was, he says any accusations that his disagreement with a woman was anything more, are simply not true.

"We were having a disagreement, and unfortunately in the disagreement, she detailed that she wanted me to leave her alone, and maybe I should have heeded that warning at the time.  But, again, there was no description in her report or her sworn statement that there was any battery or touching or any violent action in my part whatsoever," said Carter.

According to witness statements given to the police, Carter was acting drunk and not listening to officers.

Carter's attorneys said they want charges against their client, dropped. They have not said whether they are considering civil action against Orlando Police.
