Corrections Officer Brutally Beats Suspect for Clearing His Throat

This article is a good example of assault by a police officer...

A Florida corrections officer found himself behind bars — albeit for only a few minutes — after getting caught on camera slamming a suspect's head into the wall, leaving him unconscious and bleeding.

Footage from inside the Marion County Jail shows Officer Charlie Broaderick beating up DUI suspect James Duckworth after the latter cleared his throat.

Duckworth was in the process of being booked when he made a sound which Broaderick interpreted as an intention to spit on him.

The violent outburst left a visible streak of blood on the wall behind Duckworth.
