Police Beating of Maryland Student Caught on Tape
Looked for the generic "is this police brutality?" thread but I was surprised there wasn't one. This seems to be making the rounds today.
Authorities probe beating video of Maryland student - CNN.com
Here's what is likely the cops' biggest problem:
Quote:
Authorities arrested Donat and McKenna on suspicion of assaulting an officer and disorderly conduct. Documents filed by police allege that the two were causing a disturbance and that they struck mounted officers and their horses, causing minor injuries, when authorities intervened.
"Arrested 1 and Arrested 2 were both kicked by the horses and sustained minor injuries," the charging documents said.
The video does not show McKenna striking the mounted officer or horse, and the horses were not nearby while the beating was taking place. The documents tell a "totally fabricated story," Weidenfeld said Tuesday
