Community activists are calling on two Hennepin County Sheriff’s deputies to resign following the release of a video showing a violent arrest last month in Minneapolis.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office announced on Monday the deputies involved in the arrest on Jan. 9 reported the suspect — a man who they say is a felon who had a firearm — resisted them, and they had properly documented their use of force.
Footage shows one of the deputies delivering multiple blows to the man’s head while the other uses both arms to hold the man down.
They added the man was arrested and reports were submitted to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for charging consideration for a “felon in possession of a firearm, including an extended magazine,” as well as third-degree possession of a controlled substance.
The man was not charged in the incident and is no longer in custody, according to court records.
