I understand everyone is innocent till proven guilty, but come one now! I read that a witness saw these cops in fact beat this kid and tazer him as well. It does not matter what this teen did there is no reason for the police to physical beat anyone!! Get them in cuffs and be done with it already. The problem is police think they can do what they want and get away with it, because of a badge! WPD has been in the news many times before. Can you say CORRUPT! How about State Police taken over??

cont......If so, what did he do to deserve this? Why was a 16 year old having interaction with the police in a negative way to begin with? How about blaming this kids parents, who I'm sure did a HORRIBLE job raising him and not teaching him to respect authority. When I was 16, I wouldn't even think for a second of challenging or disrespecting a police officer....if i did, once the officer was done with me, I would get a second dealing with at home by my parents...garaunteed

hey John Deluca.....read this during your little broadcast. Most people who write comments online in a negative sense towards police, are normally not law abiding citizens themselves. Most good/normal people respect the police and like the police. The problem in society is not wether the police are all good or bad, the problem are bleeding heart liberals who have ruined this country, and side with the disrespectful criminals, rather then the hard working officers. Did this kid get beat up???
