Editorial essay response on police beatings

I think what happened with the shooters and police officers was a complete tragedy. They call Philadelphia the city of brotherly love but how can that be when our own law enforcers are beating people because of there own frustration. The suspects who were involved in a shooting was pursued and caught by Philadelphia narcotics officers and was beaten severely. Three heads was stomped in they were thrown into squad cars neck first by our own police officers. I think all who was involved should suffer consequences. There were eight police officers at the scene and there were four suspects but one fled on foot avoiding being pursued by police.
Four of the eight were fired and the other four did not receive any kinds of discipline at this time. Including a sergeant was demoted from his position for not stopping his officers during the beating. I think this will be going on for a very long time until this whole investigation is resolved.
I think what happened those officers did was wrong and unnecessary and somebody should pay the price for there actions including the suspects involved in the shooting.
