BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Police Chief A.C. Roper says two
Birmingham police supervisors have been suspended in connection
with the 2008 police beating of an already-unconscious suspect that
was captured on videotape.
Roper said a sergeant will be suspended 30 days without pay and
be reassigned from an investigative unit to a patrol unit. He said
a captain will get 15 days suspension without pay.
The chief did not elaborate and did not identify the two, citing
federal and state investigations into the incident.
A video of the beating surfaced in March when an assistant
prosecutor with the Jefferson County District Attorney's office
discovered it, prompting an investigation by the police department.
The video was made public in May and led to firing of five
veteran police officers.
