Maniteau County, MO — A recently released video of a pursuit by a mid-Missouri drug task force is raising some serious concerns about police violence. The incident happened on September 3, 2014 and was caught on film by a camera-equipped national guard helicopter. The members of the task force intended to serve a search warrant to suspect, Timothy Whittle in regards to allegations over methamphetamine. When plainclothes officers arrived at his residence he fled in a black pickup truck, leading them on a long chase through a rural area. The pursuit ends as Whittle exits his vehicle and then runs across a field. He is then seen turning and facing officers, with his hands up, and lies face down in surrender. The first detective to reach him, sits on Whittle and waits for his partner. As the second detective runs up to the scene, he kicks Whittle’s head jerking it around violently. When Whittle looks up, a few moments later, blood is pouring down his face.
