Nearly nine months after a teenager claimed he was beaten by Houston police officers during a burglary arrest, the surveillance video was shown to reporters.

Chad Holley, 16, accused eight officers of beating him while he was in custody on a burglary charge, on which he was later convicted. Holley claimed he was hit by a police car then beaten and kicked by police officers near a self-storage facility on Cook Road on March 24. Holley was 15 at the time.

Surveillance cameras caught the incident on tape. The tape was not released to the public by federal injunction.

However, Quanell X, the leader of the New Black Panther Party in Houston, decided to release it after he obtained a copy as part of a defamation lawsuit filed against him by one of the officers.

The video showed one officer delivering at least seven kicks to Holley while another officer punched Holley five times, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Holley is not seen on tape struggling with the officers, the station reported.

Seven police officers were terminated in connection with the incident. Four officers were also charged in connection with the incident

Former officers Andrew T. Blomberg and Drew Ryser were indicted on official oppression. Former officer Phillip Bryan and Raad M. Hassan were indicted on official oppression and violation of the civil rights of a prisoner.

The NAACP is calling for a formal civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department.

"I've gotten calls from people who are not civic minded, they are not activists, who are literally in tears after watching that video of the beating of Chad Holley. The community is here tonight to stand and say we are outraged at what has transpired," said D.Z. Cofield, the president of the Houston NAACP.
