Jordan Miles, beaten by Pittsburgh police in Jan 2010, speaks at protest outside OMI

21 May 2011—On January 12, 2010, one day after his 18th birthday, CAPA High School honors student Jordan Trent Miles was ambushed by three plain clothes Pittsburgh police officers, who failed to identify themselves and approached him aggressively. Miles, never before in trouble with the police and thinking he was being robbed, began to run. The officers overtook Miles and administered a brutal beating that left him unrecognizable. There can be no explaining away or excusing what was done to Miles.

In this video, Jordan speaks for the first time in public since the event 16 months and 10 days ago.

@Bopskuchi Agreed. I think we as citizens should take action until it grabs the cops attention to show that we're nothing to play with.
