Kamaari McCrayA video of a Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy slamming a handcuffed man into the ground raised concern on social media after a two-minute clip of the Sunday arrest was posted to Facebook by a bystander.
In the video, 24-year-old Kamaari McCray is handcuffed when he and a deputy, Jeremi Vandergriff, get into a shouting match.
McCray and Vandergriff stand face-to-face, when suddenly the deputy pulls McCray off his feet and slams him into the ground, then holds him down. McCray’s feet fly up toward the hood of a nearby patrol car.
The deputy shouts one angry, indistinguishable word at McCray, then stands over McCray and shouts at the man.
“Stay out of my face and stop spitting blood in my face!” Vandergriff yells.
