CHICAGO – A Chicago police spokesman says two high-ranking officers have been reprimanded after a video surfaced that showed officers posing with a handcuffed suspect at the G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh.
Police began investigating after video of the September incident began circulating on the Internet.
In the video, more than a dozen officers in riot gear pose for a photo with the suspect kneeling in front of them.
Police spokesman Roderick Drew said Tuesday that a department chief and a commander were reprimanded. He declined to identify the officers or say how or why they were punished.
A lawyer for the detained man, a 21-year-old university student, has said his client was wrongly detained while returning to campus from a pizza parlor.
