From [HERE] -One of the eight police officers accused of beating an unarmed Black teenager testified Monday in the trial of a now former officer who has been charged in that beating.
Andrew Blomberg, 29, is the first of the four former police officers to stand trial in the alleged attack that was caught on video. He is charged with official oppression, a misdemeanor. (After looking at the tape it seems the Government could have brought felony charges such as aggravated assault or felony assault. The Prosecutors apparently also agreed to empanel an all white jury! Do they really want to convict these cops and send a message to the HPD or are they just going through the motions? bw).
On Friday, a 37-year veteran of the training academy testified that when he watched the videotape of the arrest, he saw Blomberg stomp on Holley's head. He said no HPD officer is trained to do that, and the technique used did not make sense. "He's treating the suspect poorly," the training officer said.
