Three cops in Arkansas were suspended after a video emerged that showed them brutally beating a detainee.
In the TikTok video posted on Twitter, one officer holds the man down to the ground as another repeatedly and relentlessly punches the man’s head and a third forcibly nails him with his knee multiple times in a row.
At one point, the officer punching the man in the head lifts the man’s head up from the ground and slams it back down into the cement sidewalk as the man tries to protect his head with his hands, the video shows.
The Arkansas State Police are investigating the arrest, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said.
“I have spoken with Col. Bill Bryant of the Arkansas State Police and the local arrest incident in Crawford County will be investigated pursuant to the video evidence and the request of the prosecuting attorney,” Hutchinson tweeted.
