TV video shows Philly officers kicking, hitting 3 suspects



By PATRICK WALTERS – 12 hours ago
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A half-dozen police officers kicked and beat three men pulled from a car during a traffic stop as a TV helicopter taped the confrontation.
The video, shot by WTXF-TV, shows three police cars stopping a car Monday, two days after a city officer was shot to death responding to a bank robbery.
The tape shows about a dozen officers gathering around the vehicle. About a half-dozen officers hold two of the men on the ground. Both are kicked repeatedly, while one is seen being punched; one also appears to be struck with a baton.
The third man is also kicked and ends up on the ground.
"On the surface it certainly does not look good in terms of the amount of force that was used," Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said. "But we don't want to rush to judgment."
The officers were responding to a report of a shooting nearby, police said. It was not immediately clear what preceded the confrontation.
Ramsey said Philadelphia officers have been on edge since Saturday, when Officer Stephen Liczbinski was fatally shot with an assault rifle after a robbery.
Police fatally shot one of the robbery suspects; another was arrested Sunday and a third man is still being sought.
"There is also a lot of heightened emotions since Sgt. Liczbinski was murdered on the streets just Saturday," Ramsey said.
Liczbinski was the third officer slain on duty in the city in the last two years.
Attorney D. Scott Perrine, who represents the three men seen in the video, said that as terrible as the officer's death was, it does not excuse such actions by police.
"We don't take into consideration the emotions of police officers when it comes to the discharge of their duties. ... Your emotional state, being tired, doesn't justify what's on that video," Perrine said.
He said one of his clients suffered a welt on his head the size of a baseball and one of his legs was seriously injured; he didn't know the extent of any injuries on the other two men.
Perrine also said he did not know what preceded the traffic stop but called the actions seen on the tape unjustified.
"It clearly shows a lack of any reasonable investigation before these police yank these individuals out of the car and take turns delivering blows," he said. "This is a time for a thorough investigation to see what it is that happened here."
A court official said late Tuesday that the men had been charged with criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangering. Bail was set for two of the men, while the third was awaiting arraignment.
Lt. Frank Vanore, a police spokesman, did not immediately return a call for comment from The Associated Press.

A good kicking is often misunderstood.

We must NOT rush to judgment. A powerful prolonged kicking like that is surely justifiable, cause I'm thinking once the cop gets two or three good awesome kicks in, there is really no reason to quit.

Might as well just give them a few more good heavy duty cop shoe kicks.

Can we really ask this of our law enforcement? Just to give a few kicks?

Me thinks not. When you get a nice long arc shiney cop shoe kick in, the satisfaction of the foot hitting the perp in the head/torso area is so enjoyable, it would be criminal to ask a cop to stop at just a few kicks.

Now 12 or more kicks, I can see a problem, that might be a wee bit abusive.

I mean, of course, more than 12 kicks per cop.

I really admire the one cop in the middle. He gives the driver about 5 good strong kicks, then when his fellow cops kind of edge him out, he cruises back to the guy at the rear and gives him some good power cop kicking.

This man deserves a merit badge dammit. He took the time to get some long arc kicks on two of the perps. The other cops were kind of lazy, they stuck with one dude.

I've never been prouder to be an American.



You just know these guys are going to go free for whatever they did because of this.

Gabo,

I fear that you have some sort of weird Austrailian anti kicking sentiments. You must learn to enjoy a good kicking and not judge in your heart.

Let he who judges, recieve many kicks from many enfuriated law enforcement officials.

Ah, you see, us Aussies don't mind a good booting from time to time. That's how we tend to deal with our j-walkers, no doubt.

I like that word. BOOTING. Has a nice ring to it. I don't think these cops would be in that much trouble if we used a word like that instead of kicking.
