An Ohio officer beat a black man during a traffic stop. A town wants to know why.


Police officials have not identified the officer but said he has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. After a brief conversation about the car and Hubbard’s license, the officer tells Hubbard to step out. Seconds later, without clear provocation, the officer shoves Hubbard against the car and grabs him by the arms. On Saturday night, protesters led by Black Lives Matter activists rallied at the site of Hubbard’s arrest. Local organizer Rian Brown told the site that Hubbard’s arrest and other violent encounters between police and young black men were part of a larger problem.
