These types of cases just make you wonder what exactly it would take for something to qualify as excessive force. The original "crime"?- apparently, the guy ran a red light on his bicycle. They have the beating on tape!
Heaney, who was riding his bike past Coors Field on his way to see his mother in a hospice, claimed Cordova and other undercover police officers pulled him off his bike, kicked, punched and beat him, then slammed his face into the ground, breaking two front teeth. He says all this happened while he was on his stomach about to be handcuffed.
A sports video production crew caught the event on tape and gave it to 9Wants to Know, which investigated the case and talked to witnesses.
