"The report also cites Morse as saying he struck Jackson after the handcuffed youth grabbed his testicles, causing "extreme pain."
"An attorney for Jackson's family told the Times that he was skeptical of the police report. Joe Hopkins said he believes that all four Inglewood officers at the scene "took turns" beating Jackson before the videotaping began."
"What we see on the tape is the second beating," he said.
Once again, I only have one question: why is there NEVER any mention of how the officer got the cut over his ear? Let me guess, it was self-inflicted.
BTW, the Mayor of Inglewood has called for video cameras in patrol cars. Hmmm, and he's going to pay for this how? I have my concerns, but I'm all for the equipment. It'll do more good than harm and hopefully will quiet these flame-fanning liberals like the "Reverend" Sharpton and the lawyers like Alan Dershowitz.
