Chicago Police Video Shows Tasering, Dragging of Philip Coleman Before Death 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
This comes as Chicago has released a three-year-old videotape of
officers tasing, beating and dragging an African-American man, Philip
Coleman. Coleman died in police custody, although the city claims it was
from an allergic reaction. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has said the abuse was
unacceptable. Coleman's family says it wants the officers involved
charged with crimes.
