In Philadelphia, Thomas Jones, 30, is accused of leading police on a chase in a stolen patrol car Wednesday after firing at them. Officers returned fire, with several shots hitting Jones. One officer was shot in the hand, though it was not clear if by Jones or another policeman. The wounded suspect was dragged from the police car and kicked and beaten by police for about 30 seconds while a news helicopter hovered overhead.  Police Chief John Timoney told NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday that the beating was justified. “Even though he was shot five times,” Timoney said, “he was still resisting.” Asked for further details, Timoney told Untrue News the wounded Jones was "bleeding, crying, writhing in agony and vomiting. If that's not resisting, I don't know what is!"
