Houston Police Exposed

[SPARK]

Should a video like this be released to the public????
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>










News One is reporting that a videotape of the brutal beating doled out to then-burglary suspect Chad Holley has been released. Holley, who was 15 years old at the time of the crime, was running from police when he was hit by a cruiser, when he surrendered. As he lay on the ground motionless with his arms behind his head, police officers surrounded the boy, stomping and kicking him mercilessly in the head and chest. Even after the boy was handcuffed, police officers continued beating the boy.

The incident was caught on tape, but the tape was ruled inadmissible during Holley's trial ,for which he was convicted of burglary in July 2010. The judge did not want to prejudice jurors in the upcoming trial of the police officers, four of whom were indicted on official oppression charges and fired after the surveillance tape surfaced. The tape was subsequently released to the media by the Houston NAACP.

Holley has now filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging that HPD officers beat him during his March 23 arrest. Some will say you get what you deserve when you're caught stealing. Others will say that the police officers went too far, especially for a boy who had actually surrendered. Watch the tape and you decide.


Warning: The violence in this tape is graphic.

This happens all the time.
Read the Patriot Act 1 and 2 to see how deep this really goes.

Ya he surrendered all right as soon as a police car clipped him. How are they supposed to know he has given up after that? . Don't see anything wrong here, the guy shouldn't of ran. Play with fire...........

Well obviously the cops went way over board here but you don't know what happened before that point. Not making excuses for them though. Camera don't lie.

Funny not once in my life have I ever had a cop kick me around, could it be that I don't do something that would cause the cops to chase me that they would then boot the hell out of me? Hmmmm!!!!

I won't go as far as to say he got was was coming to him. He may have done something that was punisable by law, but that does not give the police authority to beat the living crap out of him.

Now, If he had just shot and killed someone, I could understand the police being a little rough on him. I thought police went thru training to learn how to act in certain situations?
