[see video HERE] Houston police officers beat, kick and stomp on a teen burglary suspect last year in a surveillance video that was released publicly Wednesday night.
The footage, which aired on KTRK-TV (Channel 13), shows Chad Holley, then 15, running away from police before he is clipped by a Houston Police Department cruiser as it hits a chain-link fence. The boy then falls to the ground, rolls on the grass, flips onto his stomach and clamps his hands behind his head. Within seconds, a half- dozen officers appear to attack him forcefully with their fists and feet. After another series of blows, a handcuffed Holley appears to lift himself up as he is led to lean over the back of a police car. The teen, then a sophomore at Elsik High School, was ultimately booked on a burglary charge.
The video was recorded by a surveillance camera around 4 p.m. on March 24, 2010, at Uncle Bob's Self-Storage at 8450 Cook near Beechnut. The footage offers more than one viewing angle and was forwarded to HPD and the district attorney by the business within a week of the incident.
