An investigation is currently unfolding regarding a police officer involved in a viral video that has incited significant backlash in a Pennsylvania community after he was seen repeatedly punching a Black man during an arrest. Captured on May 27 in Chester, Pennsylvania, the cellphone footage depicts 42-year-old Wayne Vick on the ground as an officer deploys a Taser and shouts commands. As Vick is shocked, the officer struggles to secure his arm and resorts to striking him twice in the face. According to court documents, Officer Michael Brodzinski initiated the stop due to Vick’s tinted windows. After Vick fled on foot, the officer utilized his Taser during the arrest. Vick faces multiple charges and remains in county prison with bail set at $20,000. Mayor Stefan Roots has called for a thorough investigation, emphasizing community accountability and justice.
