The State Personnel Board on Tuesday upheld the firing of a prison shift commander who failed to report an incident in which a kneeling, handcuffed inmate was struck in the head several times by another officer.


The beating was captured on video.


The officer who struck the inmate was also fired.


Lt. Edmond Cooper, who had worked for the Department of Corrections for about 13 years, admitted he was wrong not to report the incident but claimed that termination was too harsh, his lawyer told the Personnel Board.


"We're not saying that Mr. Cooper shouldn't be punished," lawyer Adam Morel said.


Morel said suspension or demotion would have been more appropriate.


The incident happened Dec. 11, 2014, in the shift commander's office at Elmore Correctional Facility.
