Footage shows Houston cops beating teen suspect (VIDEO)
KTRK television station in Houston, Tex. Is showing a video that appears to show Houston police officers beating, kicking and stomping on a teen burglary suspect last March.
(see video below)
The footage shows 15-year-old Chad Holley, running away from police before he is apprehended and attacked.
According to the Houston Chronicle, four of the officers in the video were eventually indicted on misdemeanor official suppression charges and fired. Two of those were charged with violation of the civil rights of a prisoner, also a misdemeanor.
Three other officers were fired without being charged.
Holley has since been convicted of burglary by a Harris County jury in connection with the incident.
