LAPD Also Probes Knee Strikes in Beating of Unarmed Black Man


The Los Angeles police investigation into the beating of car-theft suspect Stanley Miller is going beyond the 11 flashlight blows administered by Officer John J. Hatfield to include a second officer who is seen on TV news footage kneeing the suspect while the man is down. That blow, delivered by Officer Peter Bueno, occurred 54 seconds after police pushed Miller to the ground about 6 a.m. June 23 at the end of a chase through South Los Angeles and into Compton.
