Police have begun an internal investigation into a YouTube video that
shows officers beating a suspect during an April arrest.
The video was released Wednesday by Los Angeles blogger Jasmyne Cannick and quickly drew national attention. It depicts the April 3 arrest of 22-year-old Tyree Carroll, who reportedly was charged with drug and assault offenses stemming from the incident.
According to Cannick:
According to family members, Tyree was stopped by a police officer for going the wrong way on a one-way street.
When he was stopped by the police officer, Tyree obeyed and got off of his bike and spoke with the officer. The officer then proceeded to put Tyree’s hands behind his back before four policemen were suddenly on top of him. One police officer put Tyree in a chokehold and wrestled him to the ground.
Officers repeatedly struck him with their fists. They kicked him and hit him with a nightstick.
The cops can be heard yelling “tase the motherfucker” and called Tyree a “piece of shit.”
