This crazy.
The mayor of Pittsburgh has ordered an internal investigation after a video went viral, showing a police officer body-slamming a Chicago Cubs fan to the floor at the team’s Wild Card baseball game against the Pirates at PNC Park according to NBC Chicago.
The video shows an officer telling a Cubs fan in a goat costume to leave.
The Cubs fan asks “Can I talk to you,” and the officer puts an arm around him and begins to walk him away. The fan yells “Stop it,” and attempts to push the officer’s arm away.
Someone appears to grab at the device recording the incident, and someone yells “Put the phone down.” Then, the video shifts to another angle and an officer is seen picking up the Cubs fan and body-slamming him to the ground.
No word on what provoked the arrest, but it got the mayor of Pittsburgh’s attention.
