Florida Police Dept. to Investigate Officers Filmed Brutalizing Teenagers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, the Broward County Sheriff's Department says it will probe
the actions of officers caught on camera brutally assaulting teenagers
after responding to a call about an after-school fight in a Mc Donald's
parking lot near their high school in Coral Springs. Viral video of the
incident shows sheriff's deputies pepper-spraying teenagers and slamming
one boy's head into the pavement before repeatedly punching him in the
head. The boy was left bleeding heavily and was later rushed away in an
ambulance.
