<snip>

This is brutal stuff. Denver police officers are under investigation after they beat a man during an alleged "drug-use stop" and then flipped a 7-months-pregnant woman on her stomach and face. Initially, it was business as usual for the police force because they thought they got rid of some key evidence:

The witness, identified as Levi Frasier, told Fox 31 that police seized his tablet once they realized he was recording the beating, telling him that if he refused to give up the device they would do it “the hard way.” When it was returned, the video was gone.

Luckily, Frasier was able to recover the 55-second clip of the arrest and beating because it had been stored in the cloud. Now, Frasier is sharing his story and the disturbing clip that may land the unidentified plainclothes cops and two other officers, Charles Jones IV and Christopher Evans, in hot water.

4. Does anyone think he could swallow a sock???

Without choking to death?

Why the need to beat him in the face? Why not just put him in the cruiser and wait him out? He is not going to swallow a sock.

But the first impulse is to beat unmercifully or to shoot to kill.

There's a problem here, America.

6. The rule of law applies to everyone and that includes the police all the way up to the president. It
