How Is THIS Not Excessive Force???

Matt Mitchell was arrested early Saturday morning after an officer says he found Mitchell apparently drunk and urinating on a Downtown building.

Wednesday, 10tv showed you how Matt Mitchell’s weekend encounter with Chillicothe police ended: with him unconscious, airlifted to a Columbus hospital.

Now we know how it began:  with a belligerent Mitchell cuffed in the back of a Chillicothe Police cruiser, swearing at the officer who arrested him, and the officer responding in kind.

Their exchange was captured on cruiser camera.

Mitchell: “Shut the (expletive) up. Nobody wants to talk to you.”

Officer: “Well then quit running your mouth and you won’t have to hear mine.”

Mitchell: “Shut up!”

Officer: “(Expletive) you.”

At the Ross County Jail, their taunting of each other continues.

Mitchell: “Let me get this (expletive) door. I mean, you want me to come out this door?”

Officer: “Bud, if you don’t calm the (expletive) down, it’s gonna go real bad for you.”

Officer: “Hop on out, (expletive).”

Mitchell:  “What?”

Officer: “Get out of the car, (expletive).  Don’t make me tell you twice. Now if not, I’m gonna (expletive) start dragging.”

Mitchell: “You grab ahold of me like you’re (expletive) hardcore dude.”

The officer drags Mitchell to the booking area of the jail.

Officer: “Do you want to be on the ground? Huh? Do you want to be on the ground?

Mitchell: “You were dragging me”

Officer: “(Expletive) calm the (expletive) down or you’re going on the ground.”

Mitchell “You were dragging me.”

Officer:  “What are you gonna do about it?”

Mitchell: “You won’t quit dragging me.”

Officer: “What are you gonna do about it?”

Mitchell: “I ain’t no (expletive).”

Officer:  “Then quit acting like one.”

A moment later, the officer, seen struggling with Mitchell’s handcuffs, slams him to the ground.

Officer: “I told you to quit (expletive) pulling away!”

A few seconds pass, and the officer seems to realize Mitchell is unconscious, and calls for an ambulance.
