A police officer is facing two felony charges and has been suspended without pay after body camera video showed him kick a handcuffed man in the face.

Police say Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Sgt. Eric M. Huxley used unnecessary force while arresting a man downtown last month. Prosecutors on Tuesday charged Huxley with official misconduct and battery after they say he kicked Jermaine Vaughn, 38, in the face while helping to arrest the man on Sept. 24.

After an internal investigation, IMPD Chief Randal Taylor recommended Huxley, a 14-year police veteran, be removed from the force, law enforcement officials told reporters at a press conference Tuesday morning.

"I'm upset," Taylor said before showing video of the arrest. "It hurts me to see any of our officers treat someone the way you're going to see here. There is no excuse for it."

3. They need to purge the departments of White Supremacists

Police departments all over this country are infiltrated with racists and white supremacists. Perhaps 30% of the police officers in the country have no business doing that job. Purge them.
