And another similar incident. What is it with cops kicking handcuffed people to the head? Is it the infamous "training" they receive? Why can they not follow the laws and not assault a person who has been handcuffed and is lying on the ground (with another cop on top)? Will the cop go to prison for this assault? Or will the bill be sent to the taxpayers once again?
Cop Holds Down Handcuffed Teen as Fellow Cop Kicks His Face InFranklin Township, OH — Dramatic video has surfaced which will undoubtedly end up with taxpayers shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to an 18-year-old kid who ran from police. In spite of teen being handcuffed, face-down on the ground, with another officer on top of him, a Franklin Township police officer is seen punting his face like a football.
The suspect—turned victim, Anthony Foster Junior, allegedly made the terrible and dangerous decision to run from police earlier this week. According to police, Foster rammed a police car, drove 90 miles per hour through residential neighborhoods, and tried to make police officers crash.
He was accused of breaking several laws and deserved to be given due process. However, thanks to an officer who couldn’t control himself, the taxpayers will now be held accountable.
According to police, the pursuit began after police pulled over Foster for having no registration on his vehicle. Instead of stopping, however, Foster allegedly led police on a high speed chase. The incident report says Foster “drove through several yards, jumping a driveway and attempted to make it back on the street where the suspect’s vehicle struck and officers vehicle.”
Once the chase came to an end, that’s when police pulled him out of the vehicle without incident and had him in handcuffs.
As the video shows, Foster was on the ground, in handcuffs, when the unnamed police officer runs up to him and kicks him right in the face.
Naturally, Foster has already retained an attorney, Joe Landusky, who will likely sue and win.
“When I look at the video when I see a kid lying in the street motionless and another individual coming around wearing a police uniform nonchalantly kicking in the head like a football it’s not something that’s nice to watch. I don’t know what happened leading up to this, he’s charged with certain things I don’t know whether he was involved with those things are not and he’s presumed innocent,” he said, according to 10TV.
The officer responsible for the brutal act caught on film is now on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
