Dallas, Texas
Few people have seen the dashcam video of two Dallas police officers beating a man after a chase.
One city leader tells News 8 the images are so enraging that they could divide the community.
The officers are white; the cyclist is black.
According to the police report, it all started when officers say they saw Andrew Collins driving his motorcycle on the sidewalk. The officers said he took off and they followed, but didn't chase him.
Sources tell News 8, however, that the dashcam video tells a different story.
"From what I have gathered, it's pretty damaging," said Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway.
Sources say the tape shows the officers chased Collins — even going the wrong way at times.
News 8 has also been told that at one point you can hear an officer on the recording saying, "Get close to him so I can beat the [expletive] out of him."
