The video has showed that Chad Holley, had his hands behind his back and was surrendering; therefore, there was no reason to physically abuse him. There might be a reason that led to the police becoming aggravated, but their job demands them to control themselves more than average civilians. Same goes for Rodney King, even though he tried to escape from the police, they eventually got hold of him and started beating him. They could of just sent him to jail and from there the judge decides what to do with him instead of beating him to death.

This is yet another case of a white police officer murdering an African-American citizen. The incident occurred in 2010, and the trial went on for two years. I honestly don’t have much of an opinion on this because I see articles like this all the time, so I’ve just gotten used to seeing these. However, when I wasn’t numb to seeing these events, I believed that nobody should be murdered, no matter what the crime was.
This type of brutality really pisses me off. Police are accountable for their actions and that is not okay. For anyone to be beat in that way it is not okay, no matter of race. I totally agree with him in the video because those police officers knows right from wrong and they need to face punishment. you can see those cops used full force and the man and he was already hand cuffed. this just pisses me off.
