A policeman who beat an unarmed suspect about twelve times around his head did not commit any wrongdoing, according to an internal investigation.

Police in Avon and Somerset, UK were accused with totally unnecessary use of force when they arrested brothers Nathan and Harvey Jackson on March 20th during the lockdown.

The brothers were suspected of stealing two dogs from a woman’s house in Bedminster Down, Bristol, on the same day.

Video shows the men being attacked after armed police arrived at the scene. You can hear a man say he has a “bad heart” and alarmingly call an ambulance but police continued to restrain him regardless.

It’s feared that it could increase race rows in the UK, similar to that of George Floyd in America in 2020.
