Internal Affairs are"reviewing" a viral video which appears to show a Detroit police officer knocking a man out cold with a sucker punch.
The clip, posted on Reddit on Sunday, shows a group of officers approaching a man in the middle of a street in Greektown, before one suddenly smashes the victim in the face with a brutal right hand. The video does not show what led to the altercation; it shows four officers approach the man, who is standing at a crosswalk. One officer points to the distance and appears to be telling him to move away. But before the man even has a chance to respond, the second officer sends his head crashing into the pavement, laying him out flat.
