A video of two Albuquerque police officers beating up a suspect, after which the cops celebrate by giving each other chest bumps. Even better:
The video shows Blume tackled by Albuquerque Police Department Officer Robert Woolever. Woolever knees him and strikes him once. Moments later his partner, John Doyle, enters the frame and delivers the first kick. The video shows Doyle kicked Blume up to 12 times to the head, neck and ribs. During this time the suspect is not handcuffed. Around the fifth kick the video shows the suspect’s left hand covering his head, but there are questions about where his right hand is.
John D’Amato, said it was a bad call. “Oh yeah, I think this is more political than anything,” D’Amato said. “The right hand could have contained a firearm.”… He said there was no celebration after Blume was arrested. He said the two officers embraced and asked if each other was doing OK.
