The Coalition Against Police Crime and Repression today held a press conference outside of the building which houses the City of Maplewood's city hall and police department. The Coalition called for the firing of all of the officers involved in Monday's beating of Edmon Burns. The incident was captured by a cameraman in a news helicopter and broadcasted live on KTVI Channel 2.
Standing next to Burn's father, Zaki Baruti, co-chair of the Coalition, said that the officers, which included at least one St. Louis City officer, used excessive force by continuing to beat Burns while he was already subdued. "They should be charged with assault with intent to kill," he said.
