A sheriff’s office in northeast Florida says it is investigating a traffic stop captured on video by a bystander showing a handcuffed Black man with swollen eyes and a bloody face sitting on the ground surrounded by officers outside a vehicle
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — — A traffic stop captured on video by a bystander shows a handcuffed Black man with swollen eyes and a bloody face sitting on the ground surrounded by officers outside a vehicle in northeast Florida, and the officers' law enforcement agency says it has launched an internal review.
“The agency takes all allegations of inappropriate use of force by JSO officers seriously,” the sheriff's office said. The video released by Woods' attorney, Harry Daniels, shows at least three officers on top of Woods, who is chest-down on grass besides a car. At one point, an officer appears to slam Woods' heads into the ground. After he is handcuffed, Woods is propped up against an officer's legs, seemingly unable to sit up on his own. Later, he struggles to stand up.
“If this video of the officers repeatedly assaulting Le’Keian, slamming his head in the ground and tossing him around like a ragdoll while he’s handcuffed and defenseless isn’t enough to convince you that these officers need to be off the street, just look at Le’Keian’s face,” Daniels said. “He looks like he just went 12 rounds with a professional boxer."
