Arkansas Police Filmed Brutally Kicking & Punching Man on Sidewalk
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Arkansas, two Crawford County sheriff's deputies and a Mulberry city
police officer have been suspended after they were caught on camera
brutally beating a man as they pressed him face-first into the pavement.
Video posted to social media shows one officer holding the man down as
two others repeatedly kick and punch him. At one point, one of the
officers is seen slamming the man's face into the pavement.
Twenty-seven-year-old Randal Worcester was taken to a hospital with head
injuries after his violent arrest, where he refused treatment. The
Arkansas State Police said Sunday it has launched an investigation.
