A disturbing video has surfaced showing a white police officer arresting a Black man who appeared to be fully compliant and not posing any threat. Witnesses say the man had already been handcuffed when the officer allegedly assaulted him without provocation.
The incident, which is now under investigation, has sparked anger and renewed conversations about police accountability and racial bias in law enforcement. Civil rights groups are calling for the officer’s suspension pending a full inquiry, demanding transparency and justice.
Officials confirmed that the victim was not armed and had been cooperating at the time of the arrest. The department has stated that bodycam footage will be reviewed and released as the investigation continues.
The video’s circulation online has fueled widespread outrage, with thousands calling it another painful example of the urgent need for reform.
