But I'm glad I got an alert in my email with your spam comment...so I can respond to the follow up comment.<br /><br />@ Harrison - The officers in question were beating an already-unconscious suspect with fists, feet and a billy club, a battering caught on videotape until a police officer turned off the patrol car camera.<br /><br />Warren suffered a severe concussion, a skull fracture, and multiple other injuries incl. internal bleeding, broken bones, bruising, permanent injury and mental anguish in relation to the chase, the accident, and beating. <br /><br />Seems like a pretty clear cut case of police brutality to me, regardless of what the suspect did. For starters, he was already subdued (he was unconscious).<br /><br />Warrens' attorney filed a claim with the city. In addition to detailing Warren's injuries, claims in the case said the police department interfered with the administration of justice and entered into a conspiracy to tamper with evidence. Five officers were fired in this instance.<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2009/05/five_birmingham_police_officer.html" rel="nofollow">more at this link here</a><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2009/05/birmingham_police_beating_vide_1.html" rel="nofollow">and here</a>.Statichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875998739533600766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365107680230012909.post-58649975147784530192009-05-28T22:07:11.380-04:002009-05-28T22:07:11.380-04:00Had nothing to do with not wearing a seat belt.

Roper and Mayor Larry Langford announced today the firing of the five officers based their roles in the videotaped beating of a man following a police chase on Jan. 23, 2009. Disciplinary action also will be taken against supervisors who failed for months to report the incident to higher-ups, officials said. <br /><br />The beating incident happened when a Birmingham police officer tried to question 38-year-old Anthony Warren about possible drug activity. Warren fled starting a chase, captured by a police video camera, which showed Warren struck a Hoover police officer and then was thrown from his own car after he crashed. Authorities said he was unconscious when officers began beating him with a billy club, fists and feet.Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845915135831361834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365107680230012909.post-69210797596471047832009-05-24T20:01:46.813-04:002009-05-24T20:01:46.813-04:00Oh YAY..police brutality.....rules!Oh YAY..police brutality.....rules!Statichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875998739533600766noreply@blogger.com
