A cop kicked at a suspect's head and another covered his bodycam. Now, it's under review

Ravon Boyd was cornered in an alley between apartments in an Overtown housing project known as "The Skittles." As police raced to the robbery suspect, Boyd put his hands in the air, then lowered himself with his face toward the ground, hands outstretched on the turf in front of him.


Just then, an officer ran up to him and kicked at Boyd's face. That was followed by other officers pummeling him as he kept his hands up trying to protect himself.

Now, almost two years after the incident - long after the video was discovered by Miami's virtual policing unit and turned over to Internal Affairs - Miami's Civilian Investigative Panel, whose main task is police oversight, is examining the case.
