A South Carolina state trooper is seen kicking a suspect in the head multiple times after a high speed interstate chase in the latest in a string of alarming Highway Patrol videos.
In two other videos released Monday, a trooper is seen punching a suspect several times in the face after a pursuit and a different officer appears to hit a suspect with the barrel of a shotgun during a traffic stop.
The Department of Public Safety released the videos following media requests. They are the latest to surface showing troopers acting aggressively toward suspects.
Highway Patrol Col. Russell Roark and his boss, Public Safety Director James Schweitzer, resigned earlier this year after a video surfaced showing a trooper use a racial epithet while chasing a black suspect. Two other videos released in the weeks that followed show troopers using their cars to ram fleeing suspects.
