Milwaukee cop suspended after violent arrest caught on video

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Milwaukee police are investigating after officers kicked and punched a man restrained on the ground who had lashed out at arresting officers.

One officer is on paid suspension and three others are on administrative duty after video shot by a bystander emerged of the violence Wednesday evening. Separate police body camera footage shows the suspect attacking officers.

Police have not released the identities of the officers involved or the 25-year-old suspect.

Police say one officer suffered facial injuries and three others had swelling and bruises. The suspect was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and will undergo a mental health exam.

Police union President Mike Crivello says he doesn't think the officers did anything wrong. Police Chief Alfonso Morales says the action taken against the officers is standard procedure.
