Police in Maryland responded to a student skipping down the street celebrating the University of Maryland basketball victory over Duke by severely beating the defenseless kid with nightsticks. Here’s that video:

This unprovoked attack that was caught on video has led to a suspension of one officer and according to the police chief; the other two will receive pink slips.

Just when you thought the “Rodney King” days were well over these officers behave in decade-old fashion taking whatever anxieties they have out on this innocent student celebrating his team’s win.

Since the video became public and was presented by the Associated Press, state prosecutors have joined the FBI in investigating the case.

Charges against the officers are expected.

The way the involved officers falsified documents in an attempt to cover up the beating adds to this appalling scenario.
