Five Birmingham police officers have been fired for a January 2008 beating of 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, city and police officials said today…. the suspect, Anthony Warren, didn’t even know he’d been beaten until the tape surfaced at his trial in March. Warren was ejected from the vehicle and knocked unconscious, and thought all of his injuries were sustained in the wreck. Police Chief AC Roper called the video “shameful.” Mayor Larry Langford said it was “disgusting.” Roper said the video shamed the police department and the citizens served by the department, saying it was especially troubling because these were seasoned, veteran officers. Roper hasn’t identified the officers. Four of them worked in the department’s Vice and Narcotics Unit; the fifth was a North Precinct patrolman.
Good job B’ham police. I would of done the same thing. Its not about emotions, its about justice. Eye for an eye. I mean really, he will go to jail for a month ….maybe….then he’ll be driving again. Revoke his license….yeah right. Those MF’ers don’t care about driving privilages. He really didnt get what he needed, but it will do.
@dumbbell33 i dont know he almost hit a police officer trying to throw a spike strip
@TheFPSCenter Amen to that… you try to run over a cop you ought to get shot
I can see why they wanted to beat him
Proof that police are dicks.
well for one thing, i don’t blame those cops. If I saw that one of my best friends nearly got killed by the person right in front of me I would have beat the shit out of him. Taking someones life is a serious offense.
in soviet russia who gives a shit
It was a dumb, irresponsible, and unprofessional decision that the officers made by beating him when he was already unconscious. I completely understand their feelings at the time, that drove them to act that way,, but again, as police officers, The professionalism of society, and the conduct of the society you are serving and protecting,, starts with you. Lead by example
he deserved it. people say its wrong, but if the dude that got hit was someone you loved, you would feel diferent
Damm not sure what first aid training course they went on????
He deserved to get beat down! He tried to run over a police officer and he put everyone at risk on the road! Good job Law Enforcement, beat that dirt bag down!
Since he tried to run the police officer over. Instead of beating him, maybe they should have just ran his ass over too. But since they couldnt, beating the shit out of him was justice for it.
wow! i would hate to be in a car crash were im enjected from my seat and then punched senseless!!! Hello he was in a car accident he can have internal bleeding! even if you guys were chasing him!

looks like a regular gang of thugs
@mccurrybulls no i wouldn’t feel different, that is what seperates me from you. check out AmericanRican’s response for most of my reasoning.
@AmericanRican Bull shit you dont!! there are stories everywhere about military killing innocents. And they are mostly bull shit, just like these officers getting fired for kickin this guys ass after he tried to kill on of their own. I would hope you would do the same if someone tried to kill one of your brothers… if not, you should retire.
@180sxTKAuto right on….
@81skiskiski hell ya he did! i bet half these douche bags bitching on here would have been pissed if this ass hole had continued running and hit and killed their family… think outside the box you dumb asses. yes, they should have held back, but they are human and just watched a guy try to kill one of their brothers.
@mccurrybulls right on homie
Good 4 the cops on this one. He tried to kill an officer.
dumass cops
fps kyle sent me
The police aren’t there to administer justice that is for the courts.. No matter what he did! All they have done is endangered a safe and justified conviction and therefore the right decision was reached in firing them. The police force is not the law it is there to uphold the law and these guys broke that law.
@Markco1 Nice, you think beating an unconscious person is a good thing. Fucking Ape..
