Thomas Jones

Philadelphia, July 14: Thomas Jones, 30, is accused of leading police on a chase in a stolen patrol car Wednesday after firing at them. One officer was wounded in the hand, although it was not clear whether by Jones or another police officer. Jones was dragged from the police car and kicked and beaten by police for about 30 seconds while a news helicopter hovered overhead. It is being compared to the Rodney King beatings, but the investigation shows that there wasn’t a racial motivation – Jones was resisting arrest and had fired on Police.
