That's all very nice, Mr. Conley but what about the other cops who were there. Since it took a video to convince you can we assume that they either saw nothing or backed up their fellow cop? Why are their reports not falsified, too? They are just as derelict in their duty as the guy who did the punching.

Quote:Boston-area police officer charged with beating suspect in handcuffs
Quote:Rivera and several other Chelsea police officers were called to a home on reports of a man with a gun and they found a 20-year-old suspect who was intoxicated, police said. Rivera took the man, whose identity was not released, into custody and while he was in handcuffs, Rivera hit him in the face four times, police said on Tuesday.
At the time, Rivera filed a report that the man had become violent, and the suspect was charged with assault and battery on a police officer, police said. A video of the incident showed those charges to be unfounded, police said.

Quote:“There is no room in law enforcement for anyone who would beat a handcuffed prisoner or lie in a report,” Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said in a statement. “The evidence suggests this officer engaged in criminal conduct, not police work.”
