15 yr Old Black Boy Treated Like an Animal by HPD From [HERE] Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland confirmed on Thursday that two of the seven police officers he fired for their roles in the videotaped beating of black teen Chad Holley are back on duty after regaining their jobs in the appeals process. However, McClelland said he assigned both officers to the department's property room to prevent them from interacting with the public.

McClelland said he still feels justified in firing senior police officer Lewis Childress and police officer Guadencio Saucedo in June 2010. They were among a dozen officers from the westside division who McClelland disciplined after receiving a surveillance tape showing the officers running down a group of fleeing burglars.

15-year-old Chad Holley, was kicked and punched repeatedly even though he was lying face down with his hands behind his head. In security video footage, Holley can be seen on the ground, surrounded by at least five officers who are stomping, kicking and hitting him. Holley does not resist. He is treated like an animal. The mayor had concealed the tape. It was released to the public by activist Quannell X. On May 17th an all-white jury found a white former city police officer not guilty in the beating of the unarmed teen. [MORE]
