Video of cops kicking a still-burning(!) car-crash victim in the head

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/shocking-video-shows-new-jersey-cops-kicking-burning-victim-of-fiery-car-crash/



Quotes from article:

In a new video of a blazing car accident that left a New York man seriously injured Sunday night, police officers are seen striking and pulling the man — who bystanders claim was a victim in the two-car crash — into the street. Several blocks later on Tonnelle Avenue, the fleeing driver crashed into a utility pole, sparking a fire injuring another driver in a different car.

...

Raymond Worrall, Director of Communications for the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office spoke to NJ.com to give an official statement on the matter.

"Our investigators have reviewed the video and we believe with certainty that this man is the bystander from West New York who suffered burns, not Leo Pinkston, the individual pursued by police," he said. "As I previously said, we will utilize all resources available to the Prosecutor's Office for a full and thorough investigation as we seek to bring this matter to a rightful conclusion."





--------------

To repeat:
The cops were chasing a guy.
That guy caused a fiery car-accident for an innocent bystander but was able to drive on.
While the fugitive was getting away, the cops kick the still-burning innocent bystander in the head and arrest him.
