A protest was held in Oak Lawn, IL today after video shows police officers hitting 17-year-old Hadi Abuadaleh as they tried to take him into custody.
Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Oak Lawn Police Department Thursday afternoon in response to a video that shows officers hitting a teenager who police say had a gun when they tried to take him into custody.
"As he's running, I see the police grab him, but he stopped," Deal said. "There was no resistance. There was nothing. He was calm. And the next thing I know they tackled him on the ground and they started beating him."Pulling out her cell phone, Deal captured about a minute of the confrontation. It shows 17-year-old Hadi Abuadaleh on the ground and two officers are seen in the video punching him. A third officer comes up to assist the first two.
Activists from the Council on American-Islamic Relations denounced the police officers' actions Thursday as they joined Abuadaleh's family and their attorney to call on the officers involved to be suspended.
