    Reznick showed a video of multiple clips showing police brutality of various kinds – stomping on heads, beatings and other violence – toward suspects in police custody, reports the New York Post (http://bit.ly/1vds8xa).

    Bratton said he and other agencies overseeing the department are working to extract bad cops.

    The video captured a 2008 incident where a bicyclist was body-checked by a uniformed officer in Times Square, a suspect having his head stomped by a police officer while other officers were handcuffing him and one clip from Target store surveillance shows a police officer punching a shoplifting suspect.

    All of the incidents have been or are presently under investigation.
