VIDEO: Police Celebrate, Joke After Allegedly Beating Man At Traffic Stop

Video obtained by a Detroit television station and published Sunday appeared to show police fist-bumping and imitating a man they’d allegedly beaten during a traffic stop.

In the video obtained by WDIV, the Inkster, Michigan police officers appeared to celebrate as they wiped off their hands and uniforms.

The video wasn't originally included in footage turned over to Dent's defense, according to WDIV. After seeing the video, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy dropped charges that had been brought against Dent and instead brought charges against one of the officers who had allegedly choked and punched Dent in the head during the traffic stop.

The chief of police in Inkster reportedly resigned after the incident and officers seen on tape at the scene of the beating and at the police station are reportedly being investigated.
