CNN: Five police officers brutally kicked and beat an unconscious suspect after a high-speed chase through Birmingham, Alabama, in an incident caught on camera and discovered a year later.
The beating occured after the car rolled over, ejecting an unconscious black man onto the ground.
Prosecutors found footage while preparing for man’s attempted murder trial. Birmingham mayor says incident recalls days of segregation, police brutality.
The five officers have been fired, Mayor Larry Langford said at a news conference Wednesday. An internal inquiry is continuing.
The dashboard-cam footage, which officials believe was shot in January 2008, was aired for reporters Wednesday. It showed the end of a 100-mile-an-hour police chase of a van driven by Anthony Warren, suspected of illegal drug activity. [ READ MORE ]
