ATLANTA - A 16-second video posted online by Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta last week has been drawing attention over what they are calling ”police brutality.
The Atlanta Police Department said the incident happened on Thursday, June 22. The video, posted and reposted to several social media accounts, appears to show a black man on the ground surrounded by four black Atlanta Police officers.
The video appears to show one of the officers, who is trying to place the man in handcuffs, strike the man twice, once on either side of the face, during the arrest.
