Miami officers beat surrendering suspect

Miami Herald: A cop kicked at a suspect’s head and another covered his bodycam. Now, it’s under review.

Ravon Boyd was cornered in an alley between homes in an Overtown development known as “The Skittles.” As police raced to the robbery suspect, Boyd put his hands in the air, then lowered himself with his face toward the ground, hands outstretched on the turf in front of him.

Just then, an officer ran up to him and kicked at Boyd’s face. That was followed by other officers pummeling him as he kept his hands up trying to protect himself.

Of course there's now evidence of several officers lying in a cover-up, and an officer deliberately obscuring body camera view.
