In Maryland, three Prince George County police officers are under investigation following the release of video showing them beating an unarmed student. The incident occurred after a college basketball game last month. On the video, the student, John McKenna, is seen among a crowd celebrating a victory by the University of Maryland men’s basketball team. He is rushed by three officers who beat him with their batons. McKenna was initially charged with assaulting the officers, but those charges have been dropped.
