The Chronicle reports there are seven Houston Policemen fired and four of them are up on charges . . . and Chad Holley needs to become a moderately-rich young man at the expense of the taxpayers of Houston. Holley was 15 years old at the time he did a robbery. This video shows him running from the COPs and being caught. He (of his own volition) stops running and lays down in total submission . . . and then the HPD proceeds to stomp him into the grass for a minute or two, even after he is well and truly in custody. Note the simultaneous TRIPLE-kick when the first few officers reach the prone and compliant suspect.
Officer Dave says: Hey Jim-Bob, cut out kickin' that boy! If a beat-down like this starts, it may just be time for one officer to be pepper-spraying another. This is totally disproportionate and inappropriate. Kudos to the Chief in Houston for taking swift action to discipline his errant officers.

Actually, Drew Ryser was not charged with a civil rights violation, Phil Bryan was. Please check your facts before you post them online!
Checking my facts from out of town = reading the newspaper. Copy/paste of the newspaper's online article is going to have to be good enough. I will count myself fortunate never to have to meet any of these cats in person and which were charged with what or fired on what grounds is just shy of totally inconsequential to me personally.
