Warning: Disturbing Video Houston Police Department Did Not Want Released of Teen Being Repeatedly Kicked & Punched by Officers in High-Profile Case Last Year

Houston, Texas

For more than nine months, we've been following the story of Chad Holley, a teen who said he was beaten by police officers during an arrest.

Every patrol cop in this story has been told the video is out. The mayor wouldn't let you see it -- or the district attorney or the police chief.

We've all been told it's graphic and disturbing, and we remind you it is, as we show the video so many Houstonians have wanted to see.

It was an afternoon in March when a security camera captures the end of a Houston police pursuit. Burglar Chad Holley tries to make a run for it, but he's clipped by a police car and falls on the ground. He clearly puts his arms out in the surrender pose then folds his arms before police move in.

The first officer stomps on Holley's head and he's repeatedly kicked. We counted four officers doing the kicking.

Then one officer lands five kicks. It looks like the kicks are landing on Holley's head.

Holley has been on the ground with cops on top of him for about 20 seconds and then one officer lands five heavy punches.

The officer who did the kicking in the beginning does it again -- this time from behind. Then he stomps on the back of his leg.

And then just before Holley is picked up to be taken to a patrol car, there's another lick. 

But now we make this video public -- months after the district attorney, the police chief and the mayor refused to let you see it.

Four Houston police officers were indicted for what is seen on the video but on misdemeanor charges of official oppression -- not assault.

Twelve officers were disciplined in the wake of the Holley case, but many have been given their jobs back against the city's will.
