One of the officers who perpetrated this beating, Robert Evangelist (37), was just acquitted by District Judge Frank Marullo. Evangelist had elected to have a "bench trial" (that is, to have his case decided by the judge without a jury). Another one of the officers, Lance Schilling, wasn't so lucky; he committed in June 2007. Davis is still recovering, physically and emotionally, from the beating and has a federal civil lawsuit against the New Orleans Police Department pending.
I believe you're correct CarfullCarpenter. The senior gentleman could've had a heart attack or worse at his age being beat like that. Is is any wonder why the respect level of cops today is so low.
Does anyone know what came of this situation....cause i remember seeing this when it happened, but i never found out if they were releaved of their duties, or if they were just slapped on the wrist with a suspension.
I think that it is not only a matter of colour but mainly a matter of having money/power or not. I mean rich people (or people in power) get always away , while poor people are always under pressure
new orleans has a crooked police dept, and i can speak from personal experience. it may sound bad but i didnt feel bad when the city flooded, i wished it was still underwater.
when the police violates the rules, they must be brought before a group of healthy young men and do the same ththing back to them so that they will know the pain they inflict upon others. Do not protect these brutal human attack machines under the uniform.
These cops will be dismissed, but do no time. Simple battery is the equivalent of a traffic ticket. New Orleans police have been historically brutal and corrupt.
Ya man it gets my adrenaline up. Makes me want to do a riot. But I would need about a thousand guys with me to do it right. Really punish the cops with some street justice. Forget the courts.
How do Americans put up with that crap...Thats blatant assault....as for the cop saying he has been trying to stay alive in that area for the last 6 weeks....If you cant handle the heat....then quit....either way I hope the ones involved lost their jobs and got some jail time.....They would enjoy that!!
actually.....there is a law that u can defent urself of unlawful arrest..to the point of killing the cop too i believe. could be wrong but it was a legal case a while ago
Is there anyone on here with legal experience? I was wondering at what point it becomes lawful to attack a police officer. For example; if I were walking down the street with my girlfriend, and a cop walked up, stared at us for a moment, then shot her in the face for no reason, could I legally assault him? Just curious.
5 stars but not "awsome". I never saw the footage of him laying on the pavement like that. Being kicked while in handcuffs. Lips split wide open laying in his own blood and soil. Being walked over.
It`s not in the title of the video, it`s in the description of the video. And yes it is important
Taobert did you even watch the video? That part at the end is still intact...
I ,personally, am not armed and I do not consider myself silly

You can find the answer in the old comments,if you read them.

I hate to say this but....
This is the reason I was so angry at the D.C. Snipers.
WHY COULDN'T THEY TARGET COPS,COPS,COPS,COPS!!
It points out the fact that these policemen are racists. It is not very difficult to understand that...
Lance Schilling, one of the cops, killed himself before trial.

thats assault and battery whitch means using any force in witch to cause bodily harm.

Many police officers are racists.They would not do that to a white man-that is the difference (i´m white)
