A group of California police officers kicked and punched a teen shoplifting suspect in the face, troubling new video shows. The footage, shot Saturday at the Glendale Galleria mall, shows uniformed and plainclothes cops viciously pouncing on a 17-year-old theft suspect inside a Dick’s Sporting Goods store. The audible blows to the suspect’s face prompted gasps from witnesses inside the store. Three of the four Glendale cops atop the suspect, who did not appear to be resisting, punched or kicked him in the face, the clip shows. A man who recorded the arrest on his cellphone told the station the uniformed officer who kicked the teen in the face did so immediately upon arriving at the store.
