A Florida police officer was accused of using excessive force after a video captured him repeatedly punching a man and shoving his knee onto the man’s head after he was handcuffed, authorities said Wednesday.
According to the affidavit, Lordi said he responded to a 911 report that a man later identified as Monroque was drunk and refused to leave the grocery store. According to the affidavit, a review of the videos showed that Lordi put Monroque in a headlock. It alleges that he struck him six times, even though Monroque wasn't fighting back.
A few minutes later, Lordi told Monroque to stop spitting and put his knee on Monroque's head for 14 seconds, according to the affidavit. "When additional evidence was discovered, the West Palm Beach Police Department requested an outside investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement," it said.
