After a two-week examination of the video which showed Philadelphia police officers beating three suspects, the city’s police commissioner announced that four officers were fired and four others demoted or suspended.
The eight officers were among 18 who surrounded a car earlier this month, dragged the suspects out of the car and began kicking and punching them while they lay on the ground.
“We do have a group of officers whose actions were outside department policy and procedure,” Commissioner Charles Ramsey told a news conference on Monday.
The officers may face criminal charges by Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, whose office is now examining the video. The FBI is also reviewing the video, Ramsey said.

US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama became an honorary member of a Native American tribe Monday and promised policies to help tribal people if he wins the White House in November.
The Illinois senator who is leading rival Hillary Clinton in their race for the party’s presidential nomination, joined the Crow Nation, a tribe of some 12,100 members in Montana, taking on a native name and honorary parents in a traditional ceremony.
Obama was “adopted” by Hartford and Mary BlackEagle (top right) and given the name Barack Black Eagle which means “one who helps all people of this land”.
“I was just adopted into the tribe, so I’m still working on my pronunciation,” Senator Obama told a crowd after stumbling over some of the native names.
“I like my new name, Barack Black Eagle,” he said. “That is a good name.”
