Carroll Holley, who has been on the force since 1973, and officer John Laluzerne, who has been on it since 1999.The video shows a group of Minneapolis officers standing around a handcuffed man lying on the ground. One officer appears to kick the man in the head before officers put him in a squad car. The video shows the man kicking out the car and an officer closing the door on his leg.
