Article Excerpt:

From [HERE] and [HERE] Former Houston police officer Andrew Blomberg was not following procedure during a police beating and arrest of a 15-year-old burglary suspect in 2010, an expert in police policy testified Monday, the last witness in Blomberg's trial for official oppression. "Yes, I do believe it amounts to mistreatment of a prisoner," said Ken Katsaris, a police expert from Florida.

Katsaris, a rebuttal witness for the prosecution, testified against Blomberg, who was fired from the police department for his role in Chad Holley's beating, which was caught on video on March 24, 2010.

Katsaris said Blomberg's actions were "objectively unreasonable" and were "contrary to any legitimate police action." He also said he believes Blomberg "stomped" on the teen's head as other officers kicked and punched him.
