4 Philly Cops Fired, 4 Others Disciplined

We all remember the incident about two weeks ago when about 18 Philadelphia, PA cops beat and kicked three black males in suspicions of them being a possible cop killer/drive by shooters. City Commissioner Charles Ramsey has taken action by firing four of the officers and taking disciplinary action against four others. The attorney for one of the young men contends that the officers changed their stories from initially believing that one of the men was the shooter of a veteran police officer, but found out later that the actual shooter had been captured, to saying that they believed that these were in fact the men that were involved in a drive by earlier that day. All the men are still currently locked up.
