Police Brutality in Houston
In Houston, Texas, police chase burglar Jack Holley until they clip him with a police car. He falls to the ground, and puts his heads over his head in a surrender pose while lying flat on the ground. A number of cops surround him and beat him up badly. One officer kicks him repeatedly, apparently in the head. Then another officer gets on the ground and pounds him repeatedly with his fists. Then the officer who kicked him first kicks him again, several times, this time on his legs.
Problem was it was all caught on videotape.
A federal judge has ordered that the video can only be shown in a courtroom and that it cannot be broadcast on the air. The DA, police chief and mayor agreed and ordered that the tape not be shown.
Houston community activist and major clown Quanell X was sued by one of the cops in the Holley case, and a judge gave him the right to a copy of the videotape. Quanell gave the tape to a TV station, and the TV station is airing it. The judge who had stopped release of the video got on the phone to the TV station try to stop it from being aired. Now it's found its way onto the Net, and there's no stopping it.
As a result of the tape, four Houston cops were indicted, but only on charges of misdemeanor official oppression, not assault.

Hello! Hes a robber! He probably beat the stuff out of who he robbed. He should deserve an ass beating for being a delinquent. If more ass was kicked we would not have the troublesome lower class failures (who claim to be the only race being persecuted)running around causing problems. Granted police should not abuse thier power but noone saw the events leading up to this video and the suspect...well he was running from justice.
hey fredy, u must be a real fuckwit to think thast just because someone has robbed a place then they deserve a beating by the local police. if it were your son would you still have the same stupid comment?? i think not?? cops r supposed to be above all that crap, it is in their training, if they cant handle their job then retire.
When conservatives defend wht-on-blk police actions like this, it's a subconscious attempt to "get even with blacks," for "blk-on-wht" violence. The same mentality with compelled a jury to give the "not guilty" verdict in the O.J. Simpson case.
Don't break the law and you won't get your ass kicked. It's common sense.
