Yesterday a video surfaced of two white Oklahoma City police officers beating a black suspect with batons. From what we saw, the suspect was lying face down on the ground and the cops kept beating him long after he was subdued. The cops are facing disciplinary action. His offense: trying to have sex with a prostitute in a van.
How's this for the department's justification: ``While he was not actively aggressive with the officers he was actively noncomplying.''
