Reason behind the suspension of Arkansas officers

Three Arkansas law enforcement officials from the Arkansas revenue office have been suspended after a body camera video emerged that appears to show them beating a man from behind as he lay on the ground. The video, released by the Springdale Police Department on Monday, shows three officers striking 21-year-old Luis Cobos-Cenobio with their fists and feet as other officers hold him down. The other officers later handcuffed Mr. Cobos-Cenobio."We are aware of this incident and do not condone this type of behavior," Springdale Police Chief Kevin S. Lindsey said in a statement that was released along with the video."My department takes all allegations of excessive use of force very seriously.



The video, released by the Springdale Police Department on Monday, shows three officers striking 21-year-old Luis Cobos-Cenobio with their fists and feet as other officers hold him down. The other officers later handcuffed Mr. Cobos-Cenobio. The footage shows five people being arrested during what appears to be an altercation between two groups at one point; however, it wasn't immediately clear if those arrests led directly from when things began escalating before officers arrived or if there were other incidents leading up this point—which could explain why there weren't more people involved at first glance.



No criminal charges have been filed against any of the officers involved, but they have been suspended pending an investigation into the incident. The department said it will not provide further details until after its investigation is complete, as it could compromise its outcome. "We're still conducting our investigation," spokesman Jeremy Lewis said Saturday morning. "I can't give you any timetable on when that might be completed." "We have no tolerance for this kind of behavior," said Springdale Police Chief David McCool in a statement released Sunday evening after viewing the footage from his department's body camera system -- which had not yet been turned on when it happened last week.



The officers from the Arkansas revenue office have not been identified by name, but they were described as two sheriff's deputies and a police officer. They are from the city of Springdale, Ark., according to local media reports. In addition to suspending those involved in Friday night's altercation, Chief Lindsey also ordered an internal investigation into how they handled it." We take these matters extremely seriously," he said "Our goal is always to be open and transparent when there are incidents involving our department so residents can get answers quickly while we continue our work 24 hours/day 7 days/week responding to emergency calls within our jurisdiction.



Trust is essential in any relationship, but when it comes to law enforcement officers and members of the community, it takes on a new meaning. Trusting that an officer will act honorably and honestly can be difficult because they are held to a higher standard than other individuals who may have less power or authority over you or your family. However, this lack of accountability is where many conflicts start: when one person feels he or she has been wronged by another party (whether intentionally or not), they may lash out at this person in order to get revenge/revenge themselves against their perceived enemy(s). In some cases this can lead to violence between groups who agree upon nothing except that they both want their own way; however, there are ways around these problems if we work together as partners rather than adversaries!



Conclusion


These incidents are just a small portion of the problem with law enforcement in America. With so many videos and stories coming out, it is hard for people to believe that law enforcement would do such things. But no matter how much evidence there is, the public still doesn't trust them.
