Police Brutality: Philadelphia police officers involved in the videotaped beating of three suspects after a car chase won’t be charged with crimes, according to a grand jury that found no excessive use of force. Officers considered the shooting suspects armed and dangerous, and in keeping with department policy did not beat or kick them once they were handcuffed, she said. “We found that the design of the force applied by the police was helpful rather than hurtful; the kicks and blows, in other words, were aimed not to inflict injury but to facilitate quick and safe arrests,” the grand jury said in the report, which followed a 14-month investigation. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey fired four officers and disciplined four others after analyzing tape of the arrest, which he said gave the department “a black eye.” Ramsey stood by that decision Thursday, while the police union vowed a fight to overturn it. The aerial footage shows a swarm of officers descending on the car after a 2 1/2-mile chase, then smashing a window and pulling the men out to beat and kick them, in at least one case with a police baton. The suspects — Pete Hopkins, Dwayne Dyches and Brian Hall — have since been acquitted of the triple shooting earlier that night for which they were being pursued. All three suspects are black, but so are the majority of the 23 people on the grand jury, Abraham said. Most of the 18 city police on the scene were white. “It’s important not to form conclusions based on a …

If The job is too fuckin’ scary then go get a REAL job, dickbreath.
Here is an idea. If the media is going to try and trash these cops why don’t they actually show the part of the video they claim is brutality. All they show is the officer pulling them from their cars after what appears to be a high speed chase and they then hand cuff them. Where is the brutality? Is there another video this is weak.
@musiclvr1able All I see is the police pulling them out of the car and arresting them. What’s the problem?? No where in this video do they kick or assault them. I’m not saying it didn’t happen I just wanna see the video they claim to have. To many people are to quick to wanna bash cops before looking at the story open minded
@Kartracer6 sorry, you must be lookin at somethin else, because it is painfully clear that after the guys get pulled from the cars and the cops get them to the ground, instead of cuffin them immediately, they start kickin them and beating them…you didnt see that? i saw it right away;granted, not all cops are bad and we need them, but some just dont bring honor to the badge, thus cant be trusted to be our protectors
@musiclvr1able sorry it’s not there. all I see is some creative editing by the news press and it still didn’t work. Show proof next time please
@Kartracer6 you seriously must be lookin at somethin else…oh well, i wont waste my time tryin to convince; believe what you want
@musiclvr1able Oh believe me I’m seriously ready to believe this one. Philly police have a huge reputation. And it wouldn’t surprise me if they did over do their power. The problem is the media fails to show that and if this little proof was used in the court case it’s no wonder they got off free.
@Kartracer6 I too understand the need for clear proof before an allegation is to be believed, but take a close look at the first 10-17secs; if you still don’t see what I and, seemingly, most of this post sees…well, i dont know what to say. peace
@musiclvr1able I think the problem is people think that the suspect is laying helplessly in the street and the cops are beating the crap out of them. What that is is the officers detaining the criminal. If he tries to reach for a gun the use their feet to kick his arms away. It looks a lot more deceiving then it is. I’d like to see what these criminals looked like after the incident and what is the reason behind why the charges were dropped??
@Kartracer6 heh; whatevr u say;but i certainly dont think they were laying helplessly in the street;they kept going instead of stoppin,felony evading…but even if a criminal has run, when they come to a stop(finally),after officers remove them from the car, they get them to the ground and cuff them;these dudes werent goin for weapons,at least one had his arms covering his head to protect himself from the foot blows;but i wont argue anymore. goodnight
@musiclvr1able Like I said I’m not saying they didn’t cause brutality I’m just saying it seems as if little evidence is held in the video. I’d like to know if there is an article to this or if there is other video’s of it because a news press is not enough to go by with all the creative editing the press loves to do. And the poor credibility this COPSOUTOFCONTROL kid has doesn’t help the victiums case at all.
@Kartracer6 true enough; lol, i havnt had a back and forth debate like this since i first joined youtube..exhilarating, wanna argue bout somethin else?lol..kiddin, hav a nice day
The suspects were from a shooting, they ran from the police and believed to be armed and dangerous. I do not believe the police overstep their boundries of power. If they shot them for no apparently reason then yes, I would agree it was over that line. As the fact that Al Sharpton stepped in is because he hates all police, especially white officers. So he wants to use the race card as excuse to make trouble.
how can 5 ppl kicking a man on the ground be “within parameters”?!?!? Glad I don´t live there
We as americans need to stop questioning our police force’s actions so much. If bleeding heart liberals start whinging and pressing charges every time cops do their job this nation will decend into anarchy.
Philadelphia means “City of Brotherly Love” in Greek. Philly police are brutal. They don’t give a fuck! A couple corrupt police officers just got busted recently for trying to be like Denzel Washington in Training Day LOL!
the biggest lie in america is that your inocent till provin guilty
I don’t know how anyone can call what happened on that tape to be brave police doing their jobs. The police in Philadelphia are out of control, trust me, I live here.
@TheMurikanpatriot I am as conservative as you are, a libertarian as a matter of fact, and what these cops did was abuse and assault. This is why there is no cooperation between the people and cops. People just don’t trust them anymore.
lazy fucking pigs…..always the scumbags from highschool that become cops….ever notice that?
