That's what his family states they believe took place. The police do not have the right to use excessive force. Police have a right to use force to protect themselves, but the beating of a suspect who is restrained or lying on the ground is not self defense.

First of all you sound ignorant! Regaurdless of the situation that took place, the police had no right to result to violence as a measure of discipline! yeah the mother and father are held accountable for what their own children learn at home, but the police are role models if nothing else, and this should not have happened this way! If the police are acting out this way, then what are we teaching are children? How would you feel if this was your child? Don't worry I'll wait!!!!!

You are the ignorant one! It does show excessive force. Do you really believe that about the AIDS epidemic? Do you know how that originated? It was originated because a "white man" fucked an animal and brought the disease back to this country. Our very own gov't possess a cure and an antibody that would have prevented the spread but saw dollar signs instead. I am a caucasian and am ashamed to say that you are a part of my race. You are the FUCKING ANIMAL!

I don't care what nobody says, this is bullshit!!! this should not have happen the way that it did! Even if he was resisting arrest the police have no right to result to violence as a source of detaining! it is unethical and what are we saying about the justice we believe in that's suppose to serve and protect us?????

The speaker talks of holding the officers "accountable"? How about the parents and family holding Trevor "accountable" for smoking marijuana, underage drinking, resisting arrest at 14? What a joke. What happened to families of the old days being "embarassed" that their child is in trouble with the police and drinks and smokes at 14?

this boy is 144444!!!!!!!! look at those cops there like big ass bears compare to him no matter what he was doing they did not have to beat him like that dont make no sense

[ashkw8909]

no matter what he did wrong he is 14 and noone should have to be done like that..the police are not here for beating citizens..there here to ''protect'' and thats obviously not what those two did...

Here is another Idiot cop!

Don't you understand that the more this happens the worst things get for you guys? Police brutality is something no one wants, people don't want this to occur anymore. How would you feel if some Abusive Cop beat up on your kid while he was on his way to a friends house.

He was only charged with "resisting arrest". Well what arrest was he resisting if there was no other charge?

Black Officers have to face overwhelming ignorance from certain Blacks that act like fools. If they fight the Police, they will lose. If they Stop acting like idiots, the Police won't have to tell them to stop doing whatever it is they shouldn't be doing. The video shows no misconduct. I guarantee you that the kid has a long arrest record. Is the family going to comment on that badass kid? I doubt it. Good job Officers!!

what a horrible thing to say, you have no heart

The other two boys loitering didn't get all bloodied. What did they do right? Also don't forget the context. Toledo has recently been plagued by increasing gang activity and senseless violence. Let's all look at the big picture.

Wow some statement. Apes, animals, lazy, looters all with aids. Wow some statement. If it was a well educated black person (and there have been many--even famous ones) getting the snot beat out of him, what ugly crass statement would you have for youtubers?
