NightSide - Car Chase Arrest Caught On Tape

BOSTON (CBS) - Richard Simone led police on an hour long car chase after refusing to pull over for the authorities in Holden, Massachusetts. When he was finally apprehended in New Hampshire, multiple news choppers caught the arrest on video, and saw more than one police officer using a questionable amount of force on a seemingly-defenseless Simone. Some of the officers involved in the arrest have been relieved from duty while the investigation looks into whether excessive force was used. Are you surprised to see police continue to use excessive force with the increased scrutiny on their conduct in recent years? Should these officers lose their job?
