Video Shows Detroit Officer Captured Punching Black Man to the Ground; Detroit Police Department Investigating
“It appears in this video — the cops attempted to break up a fight — and this guy was trying to get involved,” Detroit Police Second Deputy Chief Rudy Harper told the Detroit Free Press. “He may have been trying to escalate it and may have even assaulted a cop.”
Harper hasn’t identified the man or the officer, but said his actions are under investigation. The officer remains on the job but is restricted to desk duty, and Harper was not aware of whether the man had received medical attention following the blow to the head. It’s possible that the man and the cop could face charges.
Another video that surfaced Monday appears to show the same man swinging at officers earlier in the morning.
“The officer does deserve due process. We have to take some time and look at everything,” White said.
