No Charges Filed Yet Against Man Beaten in LAPD Tape

That's interesting to note. What would the charge be anyway, "Being an irresistable target"?

An interesting thing to note is that LAPD chief Bill Bratton asked the public "not to rush to judgment". Right. That's apparently for the police to do (the ones in this tape, anyway).

Yes, I understand the suspect had supposedly led the police on a 30-minute car chase. But that video looks pretty bad, especially given the fact that even the police admit he was unarmed and from what I can see on the tape, offers no resistance once captured. Adrenaline can be a dangerous thing.
