A disturbing incident has sparked outrage after footage showed a white police officer arresting and assaulting a Black man who was already handcuffed and posed no threat.
According to witnesses, the man had been restrained when the officer allegedly struck and shoved him, despite his compliance. Bystanders shouted for the officer to stop, with some recording the scene on their phones.
The video quickly went viral online, fueling anger and renewed calls for accountability in law enforcement. Civil rights groups condemned the officer’s actions, saying the case highlights the ongoing issue of racial injustice and abuse of power.
The department has since confirmed an internal investigation, and the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave. Officials say they are reviewing bodycam and witness footage to determine the next steps.
Online, the reaction has been intense, with thousands demanding justice. One commenter wrote: “Handcuffed, harmless, and still assaulted — this is exactly why we keep demanding change.”
