The Davenport police
chief is defending his officers involved in the beating of a suspect.
Video came out earlier this week of a February incident
showing the officers confronting a woman allegedly caught shoplifting.
“I’m not making
excuses for the officer that deviates from policy I’m a realist it’s going to
happen from time to time and then we’ll deal with it accordingly, she was hit,
policies were violated,” Chief of Police Frank Donchez told affiliate WQAD.
Officials say there was disciplinary action taken against
one of the officers. However since it’s a personnel issue, the details aren’t
being released
