OCEAN CITY, Md. State and local leaders are at opposite ends of the spectrum amid heated reactions to viral videos of violent arrests of young Black men on the Ocean City boardwalk.
Three videos of two incidents, which occurred Saturday, June 12, and Sunday, June 6 on the boardwalk, began circulating on social media over the weekend, sparking outrage.
One of the videos connected to the June 12 incident shows an officer using his knee to repeatedly strike a 19-year-old who is being restrained on the ground as an officer demands that he give them his hands.
At least four 19-year-olds were arrested in that incident and additional footage captured by bystanders shows a Taser being used on one of them.
Young men arrested in Ocean City prayed for their lives, questions arise over officers use of force
