New Orleans Police Assaults Caught on Tape

More controversy in New Orleans as a tape shows an NOPD officer hitting a 64 year old man, Robert Davis, who was arrested for public intoxication. Then, while Associated Press Television News producer Rich Matthews and his crew attempted to document the incident, a New Orleans police officer told Matthews to stop, then assaulted him. The cameraman caught that incident on tape as well. Three officers will be placed on suspension and charged as a result and the incidents will be investigated, according to New Orleans Police Department officials. The AP’s Mary Foster broke this story Sunday.
