BETHEL, Ohio An arrest warrant has been filed by the Bethel Police Department for the man seen punching a Black Lives Matter protester in the back of the head in a video that has now gone viral.
According to the police, Johnnie Devault hit a man in the back of the head Sunday afternoon at the Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Bethel.
"This offense took place in the presence of a Police Officer (sic) but was not witnessed by the Officer," a news release from the Bethel Police Department said. Despite the officer not seeing this, the victim "was then removed from the area to file a report and to seek medical treatment."
Initially, charges weren't filed against Devault because the victim didn't know who hit him. However, after videos of the assault were posted online, witnesses came forward and identified Devault.

(5,345 posts)It's not so much about anger at his victim. It's about being a COWARDLY SHEEP.
Make no mistake... he WANTED to be seen punching that man... because he thought it would bring attaboy points from his fellow herdsmen.
I hope his fellow sheep cowards ratted him out. I wouldn't be surprised.

It will only get worse as things get closer to election time.
We need to work hard and make sure the dump is dumped on the 3rd.
