From [HERE] Two white Elkhart police officers face charges of criminal battery. That's a misdemeanor.

Corporal Cory Newland and Corporal Joshua Titus are accused of using excessive force while arresting a suspect back in January.

They were arresting a man for domestic battery, battery to a police officer, public intoxication and resisting police.

Video shows the white cop apparently daring the handcuffed Latino man to spit on him. He does. Then the two officers then begin to punch & attack him while he is handcuffed to the chair.

The officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal case.
