Philadephia Police Beating Official Video



This footage is simply shocking:

Philly policemen were videotaped stomping, kicking and beating three men suspected to be involved in a nearby shooting.

An attorney representing the men called it a brutal attack by cops. He also said one of the men had a baseball-sized welt on his forehead, multiple scrapes and bruises, and was barely conscious.

Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey who saw the video, said, "On the surface it certainly does not look good, regarding the amount of force that was used. But a full investigation is underway."
Now, one can understand police emotions running high because a policeman has been killed, but nevertheless these actions are way beyond the pale.

I guess the clip was a little too shocking for Youtube. Can't have the police state exposed like that.

It's simply spineless that they have removed it!

Managed to find another copy of it. We'll see how long before they pull this as well!
