This is disturbing, regardless of how unruly the guy became.
According to the Huffington Post, a distraught Mississippi woman is claiming that police used serious and unnecessary force on her husband while arresting him at Saturday’s Ole Miss-LSU game, that left the man — a two-time veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard — with a concussion and fractures to his orbital wall.
“YOU ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. THIS IS NOT OK,” Holly Barnes wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. “Please help us get justice by calling out this police officer!”
According to Barnes, her husband, Chris Barnes, is . She posted a video along with her Facebook post that appears to show the moment her husband was arrested by police at the stadium.
While the entirety of the incident cannot be seen in the video, Chris can be seen face to face with the cop. After a few moments, there appears to be an altercation, although the details of the scene are not entirely apparent.
The man’s mother law posted photos of him badly beaten.
My husband, a two time Veteran of the US Army National Guard, was wrongfully assaulted on campus during the Ole Miss vs LSU game by a POLICE OFFICER. He was hit twice in the face and then arrested. THEY DID NOT GIVE HIM MEDICAL ATTENTION. Four hours later once he posted bail, he asked his friends to take him to the ER. He was diagnosed with a concussion, fractures to his orbital wall and maxillary sinus and contusions to the tissues of his eyes. This all stemmed because the officers thought he did something that someone a few rows up did and blamed him and his friends. I’m disappointed in the University police department and the Oxford police department for letting this happen. YOU ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. THIS IS NOT OK. Please help us get justice by calling out this police officer! I want his NAME AND BADGE! Please help me get this to the media by sharing. Thank you. Pictures posted in comments.
