Inkster officer fired after beating caught on camera

INKSTER, Mich. (WJBK) - One of the police officers involved in the apparent beating of a Detroit man during a traffic stop will be fired.

Bill Melendez, one of the officers seen in a dash cam allegedly beating Floyd Dent, will be fired from the Inkster Police Department.

"This is a big step in the right direction for the city of Inkster," said Nicholas Bennett, one of Dent's attorneys. "Too often do we see officers like Melendez get a free ride."

Melendez was placed on desk duty stemming from the January incident where Dent, 57, was pulled over, then kicked and punched more than a dozen times.

Now multiple sources confirm to FOX 2 that Melendez has been suspended for five days, pending his termination.

In a written statement, Inkster city councilman Michael Canty said. "His employment with the city of Inkster has been terminated."

"The video speaks for itself, you see a black man getting beaten by two police officers - Melendez specifically," Bennett said. "And had it not been for our exposing all this video, we don't know if he would have been on desk duty."

A criminal investigation into the matter is still underway. While Melendez may be off the streets in Inkster, it appears he'll still be working.

His company Strategic Security Detroit claims they provide "premier service with integrity, innovation, respect and accountability."

Now it seems Melendez is the one being held accountable.

"I really have got to give it to Floyd Dent for coming forward in this case and taking the risk," Bennett said. "It is a scary thing to expose police like this, especially as a black man in America."

FOX 2 did reach out to attorney David Lee who has represented Melendez before. He said he had no comment because right now, there are no criminal charges. Lee added this is Inksters' right, he just hopes everyone will hold judgement until everything is sorted out.
 
Houston, TX — A high-speed pursuit through the northeast side of Houston, Texas ended tragically Wednesday morning. Police officers shot and killed the man who tried to flee. The entire scene unfolded on Live TV.

The chase began after officers attempted to pull the vehicle over and the driver refused to stop.

According to Click2Houston,

The vehicle exited on Wallisville Road, then the driver eventually crashed into multiple vehicles and stopped near the intersection of Castlegory Road.

Several officers then jumped out with weapons drawn. The driver got out of the vehicle and it appeared he reached back into the vehicle.

At least one officer opened fire and the driver then appeared to fall to the ground. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the suspect is dead.

It is unclear at the moment if what the driver was “reaching for” was a gun.

The man’s identity has yet to be officially released, but family members arriving at the scene say the man is 41 years old and is the father of three, with another child on the way, according to ABC 13.
