Three Arkansas police officers have been suspended following video of a violent arrest that appears to show them repeatedly striking a man they were arresting while he was pinned on the ground.
Three Arkansas law enforcement officers were suspended Sunday following social media outrage over a video that seemingly showed two deputies and an officer striking a suspect under arrest.
"I hold all my employees accountable for their actions and will take appropriate measures in this matter," Damante said. The video appeared to show the three officers striking a man they were arresting while he was pinned on the ground. One officer appears to punch the suspect in the head multiple times while another knees the suspect's body.
State police identified the man who was arrested as 27-year-old Randall Worcester or Goose Creek, South Carolina.
