Alleged Police Brutality in Minneapolis (KMSP)

Alleged Police Brutality in Minneapolis:
A Minneapolis man is claiming he's the victim of police brutality after a traffic stop put him in the hospital. Derryl Jenkins, 42, was stopped for speeding in February. A criminal complaint obtained by FOX 9 says Jenkins was driving 15 mph over the speed limit in the area of Dowling Ave. and Penn Ave. in north Minneapolis... After reviewing the video, [Minneapolis Police Chief Tim] Dolan released the following statement Monday: "... Some of the actions of responding officers, specifically the kicking of the suspect, give me concern; because of this, I am asking for an outside review by the FBI. Additionally, the incident has been referred to my Internal Affairs and Training Units for a review of our arrest procedures in dealing with suspects resisting arrest."
