WATCH: Chicago Cop Stomps Shaquille O’Neal’s Head Into Pavement, Spurs Protests

“Put the phone DOWN!” yelled the plainclothes Chicago cop at a witness, after stomping on Shaquille O’Neal’s head while another officer wrestled with him on the ground, and lay atop of him.
A one minute video of the incident was posted Monday by a bystander who recorded it on his cell phone, which you can see below.
Now, an undercover Chicago cop has been relieved of his duties after being caught on video kicking the defenseless O’Neal’s head into the pavement.
