The video is still being viewed in India,Russia,China, Australia,all over the European Union ,Africa,Sweden,Norway all over . Ppl know they are guilty
Absolutely DISGUSTING. Family keep fighting on the world was shocked to see such savage out of control behaviour.
The officers who kicked, and roundhouse punched the victim, and there appear to be at least 2 officers in the video, are guilty as charged. The others are guilty, but of manslaughter or murder, let the jury decide. They all need to go to jail.
roundhouse punch?
All of these murderers should be there in chains and jumpsuits, attended by the bailiff. Bail is ransom that punishes poverty. All 5 should have remained locked up until the trial. The world – and specifically the USA – needs to move away from the idea that if you can pay money for it, you can have it.
