David London Assault Case: New Tape Released Of Walter Harvin, Iraq Vet, Assault

Earlier this week videotape of Officer David London beating Iraq vet Walter Harvin was released as part of the cop's assault trial.

In the video, London is shown striking Harvin at least 20 times before and during his arrest.

But now a new tape of the altercation has been released, and this one is substantially more damning.

London can be seen hitting Harvin after he's been cuffed, as well as kicking him as the veteran lays in a fetal position on the floor.

When asked why he kicked the suspect in court yesterday, London responded, "He kicked me."

London also justified his initial use of force, telling his lawyer, "...He was aggressive and violent, sir. I was trying to get him to comply. He said, 'I'm going to fucking kill you.'"

The police officer is also charged with falsifying his report of the incident.
