CHICAGO - A 29-year-old man who was body-slammed by a Chicago police officer in an arrest caught on video is due in bond court on charges that include aggravated battery of an officer. He’s also charged with resisting arrest, assault, and drinking alcohol in public. The bystander’s video shot Thursday shows the officer lifting Kersh off his feet, then slamming his body hard onto the street. Police say Kersh licked the officer’s face, threatened him, then spit in his eye and mouth. The officer also went to a hospital to be evaluated.
