Bodycam Shows Officer Punching Handcuffed Man

Bodycam footage from a Providence arrest reveals shocking moments: an officer repeatedly punches a handcuffed man after he spits at them, while earlier videos show no sign of the initial confrontation. The police report contradicts the footage, claiming force was only used to subdue the suspect — but audio shows officers threatening violence before the punches land. Mitchell, who claims he’s not resisting and plans to sue, now faces charges. The department says it’s under internal review and won’t release more details — leaving the public with fragmented, delayed evidence and serious questions about transparency and accountability.
