Cell phone footage was released on Wednesday showing the beating of unarmed 22-year-old Tyree Carroll by Philadelphia Police.
The Philadelphia Police Department (PDP) has opened an internal affairs investigation into the violent arrest, which occurred in early April, only after proof of the beating appeared online.
The video, which has already been viewed over 100,000 times, shows multiple officers repeatedly punching and kicking the African American youth, writes the World Socialist Web Site. Â Despite the fact that the filming is taking place roughly a block away from the incident, Carroll can be heard clearly screaming in pain throughout.
