The man goes by the name of  Shaquille O’Neal lost consciousness and was later rushed to a local hospital for treatment.

Witnesses say O’Neal stopped moving for about 20 minutes they really thought he was dead after the kick, his family is outraged and wants justice.

Some activists say the Chicago Police Department’s pattern of misconduct in the African-American community must end.

Former police officer Michael Brown says the video doesn’t really show all of what happened.

“Without knowing the entire facts of this situation, it’s hard to make that conclusion,” Brown said.

The suspect was arrested after officers chased him and found three bags of heroin on him Monday afternoon, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Police said charges were pending against O’Neal.
