What I want to know and im sure what others would like to know is if this cop going to face any charges for assaulting this man rather than just being suspended? If the roles were reversed, not only would the handcuffed man been shot dead more likely, had he survived he would've been charged for sure. But here's the original story including the video;
Earlier today, the City of Miami Police Department issued an ominous
statement: Chief Jorge Colina said he'd received a video of an officer
clearly violating departmental policy. That cop had been relieved of
duty, he reported, adding the department had sent the clip to the
Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.
Now the video has surfaced. It shows an Miami Police
officer taking a running start and then kicking a defenseless,
handcuffed suspect in the head. A police department spokesperson
confirmed this was the video in question but said no further information
was available.
The woman who posted the video, Lisa Harrell, wrote online that the
officer was suspended after someone sent the clip to MPD. Harrell told New Times that
the incident occurred around 9:40 a.m. today at an apartment complex
near the intersection of NW Eighth Street and NW Seventh Avenue in
Overtown, Miami's historically black neighborhood. The area's residents
have complained for decades about overzealous and often brutal police
tactics.
Here's the video, warning viewer discretion is advised.
Now the real question, will this cop be charged?, I'll keep everyone posted. In the meantime if you want to read more you can do so by clicking here
