Police have launched an investigation into the use of force against a man by Arkansas law enforcement that was captured on video.
State police launched an investigation Sunday into the use of force against a man by Arkansas law enforcement that was captured on viral video.
The officers involved weren’t identified. Crawford County Sheriff Jimmy Damante said in a statement Sunday that the two deputies who were seen on video had been suspended until the conclusion of the state probe. Damante, the Crawford County sheriff, said he requested a state police investigation. Later in the day, Gov. Asa Hutchinson said one was underway.
Another law enforcement official, the one closest to the man's feet, appears to strike Worcester multiple times with a knee. The third officer appears to hold Worcester down, with the help of body weight, at his waist.
