Video shows suspect being kicked in head



A drug task force video of an arrest differs markedly from the police reports written by the plains clothes detectives involved in the incident, The Kansas City Star reports.

The video — available below — begins with the final moments of a car chase between Timothy Whittle and two plains clothes detectives, Michael Chinn and Kip Bartlett.

...

In the video, the first detective to arrive immediately kicked Whittle in the face, while the second — identified as Chinn — handcuffed him. The first detective held a Taser to Whittle’s back and used it to subdue him. When Whittle lifted his face, blood can be seen streaming down it from a gash above his eyes.

However, the official police reports filed by both detectives make no mention of the kick or its effect on Whittle.

There was no need to Taze him either. He appeared to be cooperating with the Agents.

He just looks like a scared Kid.

This is not fucking Afghanistan.

We even have our own Red State taliban saying gays should be executed. I read it right here on D.U., last week.

What does it take U.S. police so long to cuff a suspect ???

Do they not know how to operate hand cuffs or zip ties ???

At one point the cop had the taser resting on the suspects head.

I don't think the U.S. police are trained or they intentionally ignore their training.
