PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia's police commissioner says a
news video showing officers beating three suspects "does not look
good," but adds, "We don't want to rush to judgment."
A half-dozen police officers can be seen kicking and beating
three men pulled from a car during a traffic stop as a helicopter
from TV station WTXF taped the confrontation.
Police say the officers were responding to a report of a
shooting nearby. It's not yet clear what preceded the
confrontation.
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey says Philadelphia officers
have been on edge since Saturday, when one of their own was fatally
shot with an assault rifle after a bank robbery.
Police fatally shot one of the robbery suspects; another was
arrested and a third man is still being sought.
An attorney representing the three men seen in the video says
that as terrible as the officer's death was, it does not excuse
what happened to his clients.

Then in the story below this one, its shows a P.O. beating a wheelchair confined man. How pathetic. The way these bullies are throwing these punches, kicking these kicks. Just pathetic.

As i have been saying numerous, numerous times. Police Officers have gotten out of hand. I dont even have to read this entire story to know how I feel about it. When you pull up “Police Brutality” on YouTube, its amazing how many videos come up of P.O.’s ruthlessly and mercilessly beating people for no good reason at all. I know a few cops and more than one of them said the reason they became cops was to kick peoples arse. Its pathetic. But, all they are doing is following in the footsteps of many diplomats in our Government.
