DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office has filed misdemeanor battery charges against IMPD officer Adam Chappell. Chappell is accused of kicking a 17-year old male during Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration. You can watch the video clip here.
I’ve looked at it several times this morning and I don’t see what the officer did to have charges filed against him. I see a rowdy drunk teen and I see several see several officers trying to restrain him. There may be something on the tape that I’m missing, but I don’t see someone intentionally and maliciously trying to do harm to another person, but I do see an officer doing his job.
Take a look at the tape for yourself and tell me what you think you see.
And for the record, I honestly beleive that if the officer and 17-year old were of the same race, we would not be having this discussion right now.
