The Stomping, Kicking & Punching of Chad Holley
When I first read about this case I didn’t have much pity for 15 year old Chad Holley who caught a beat down from the Houston police because he was a burglary suspect, that all changed once I saw the brutal footage. The police officers were charged with “official oppression”, which is a misdemeanor. Judge Ewing Werlein Jr., mayor Annise Parker, and District Attorney Pat Lykos all tried to keep the video tape from being released. All officers involved plead not guilty. It is 2011, we don’t, can’t and won’t tolerate this bullshit anymore.
- Andrew Bloomberg, Raad Hassan, Drew Ryser, Phillip Bryan Harris, four of the police involved in the beat down
- Chad Holley, the 15 year old victim of over zealous police in Houston.
