Houston Police Beat Minor

Here you can see six Houston policemen brutally beating a young robbery suspected after running into the suspect with a police car. The police were unaware their actions were being taped, so we must ask if this is their standard procedure when capturing someone. The young suspected posed no threat to the police. After being hit by their car he put his hands behind his head and did not resist, but the police still kept beating him.

The Texas courts tried to keep this video a secret for almost a year, but it was recently leaked last week by community activist Quannel X of the New Black Panther Party. The local government wanted to keep the tape secret to prevent alerting the people of Texas, as well as the world, of exactly how sinister their regime really is. It seems that they were also trying to protect the police from getting a just sentence, given that courts are biased in favor of police.

"We hear these stories all the time in our community, all the time," local NAACP President D.Z. Cofield is reported to have said.

Notice how one of the guests in this video points out that they, as someone close to the Houston Police, hear about the local Police Department doing things like this frequently.

This happened last March after the suspect, 15 year-old Chad Holley, ran from police when he was spotted trying to commit a burglary. While The Partisan does not support the idea of burglary, we consider brutally beating a minor who didn't physically harm anyone to be much worse. The punishment for Holley does not fit the crime.

Four of the police officers have been indicted and charged with misdemeanor "official oppression" and could face up to one year in prison and a $4,000 dollar fine.
