Here is the video the Houston Mayor, D.A. and Police Chief fought to keep away from the public.
Just like the Modesto City Council and the Bee tried to keep the Letter from the long time MPD employee away from the pubic.Months after four Houston police officers were indicted following the violent videotaped arrest of a teenage suspect, we alone have the tape.
13 Undercover's Wayne Dolcefino obtained it exclusively on Wednesday night. on Thursday, the reaction was overwhelming -- not just over what's on the tape, but over how the mayor is reacting to it.
Activist Quanell X gave the tape to 13 Undercover, before a state judge issued a restraining order. The tape was also sealed by a federal judge in the Holley civil lawsuit."That tape made me angry as hell and I'm telling you when the people in the 'hood see it, they will be angry also and now it's time to come out," said Quanell X.
At KCOH radio on Thursday, the voices were loud and clear."I was outraged. I cannot believe that these officers behaved the way that they did," said Michael Harris.The video showed the most physical cop that March day appeared to be Raad Hassan.
His termination letter listed 15 kicks.
There were a lot of them, and there was one kick after Holley was clearly handcuffed.
