Indiana cop charged for stomping on homeless man's face

A white police sergeant in Indiana is charged with two felonies after bodycam video his department released this week was alleged to show him stomping on the head of a handcuffed homeless Black man while he was being arrested.

The sergeant, Eric Huxley, 43, a 14-year veteran with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, was charged with official misconduct and battery with moderate bodily injury, police said.

Federal authorities are also investigating Huxley's conduct in the arrest on Sept. 24 of Jermaine Vaughn, 39, who was handcuffed and on the ground when another officer's body camera appeared to show Huxley approach him and stomp once on his head with his left foot.

The bodycam video at the link is legitimately shocking. I can't imagine the DOJ investigation won't end with federal charges.

1. even with body cams, he thought that was ok.

2. The good-ish news is that the Indianapolis PD says

it is going to reexamine all of his uses of force and investigate, so there's a good chance this gets worse and worse for him.
