Police Release Body Cam Footage of Officer Punching Man in The Face

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational, training and informational purposes only All Videos obtained by “Global Police Videos” have been obtained from public records.) ** Police Chief Otoniel Reyes has ordered an internal use-of-force investigation after a social-media video showed an officer punching a man in the head during an altercation inside a downtown office tower. The incident occurred last Friday in the lobby of the Connecticut Financial Center on Church Street next to City Hall. Officers responded to a call about a man named Shawn Marshall, whom management sought to evict from an office on the 19th floor. More than an hour of discussion and negotiation ensued. In the end the police moved to arrest the man. A scuffle ensued. Three officers eventually wrestled the man to the ground. At one point an officer punched the man three times in the head. The officer, Justin Cole, then deployed pepper spray. A security guard named Jolisha Troutman recorded nine minutes of the confrontation, including the punches to the head. Another person posted the video on Facebook, where it was shared 154 times as of Tuesday afternoon. The video also came to the attention of Greater New Haven NAACP President Dori Dumas. After watching it, she conveyed concern to Chief Reyes. “My issue is: That’s all fine and good if you needed to arrest him. [But] I can clearly see one of the officers punching him in the head when he’s already down. It’s not good. I’m looking for answers,” Dumas, who sits on the Connecticut Bar Association’s police accountability task force, told the Independent. Chief Reyes told the Independent Tuesday that the department plans to release body camera footage promptly. Because the incident took place over an hour and a half, reviewing and processing multiple officers’ footage has taken some time. He said he intends to release the full video. “We can assure everyone that a transparent and full investigation will be done,” Reyes said.
