An update now to a story that we mentioned in this morning’s Roundup: a third D.C. police officer has now been implicated in the beating of a man outside the Lotus nightclub at 1420 K Street NW on June 10. The Washington Post reports that all three officers have been suspended from duty.

The attorney of the man who was beaten, 24-year-old District Heights resident Walter Blair II has also begun to speak publicly on the matter:

The attorney, Ronald Karp, could not confirm whether D.C. police were involved in the beating. He said he looked at video footage of the attack that shows at least two men in security uniforms repeatedly kicking Blair as Blair lay in the fetal position on the ground. The attorney declined to cite the source of the video, and the circumstances that led up to the beating were not clear.

“I saw one video, and we talked to some witnesses, and what I saw was ugly and mean,” Karp said in an interview. “They were not trying to apprehend the young man, they were punishing him.”

Blair and Karp also spoke with NBC4 last night, and Karp accused the officers of “kicking [Blair] in the head” and “taking out his eye.” Blair has not been charged with any crime, though it appears that some kind of a scuffle with security around 2:30 a.m. was the genesis of the incident.

The incident brings up many questions — like what the three officers doing there while off-duty. (D.C. cops are not allowed to moonlight as security guards at local establishments without the prior approval of the department.)
