The woman who took the video is denying law enforcement claims that Worcester started the violence, DailyMail.com can reveal The woman who made the recording told FBI investigators that “at no point” did she see Randal Worcester attack any police officers before the violent arrest. Lawyers for the officers say Worcester “viciously attacked” a deputy by “picking him up and body slamming him, head first, into the concrete parking lot.” The Justice Department confirmed Monday that it has opened a federal civil rights investigation into the actions of three Arkansas police officers Johnson told DailyMail.com: “My sister and her girlfriend were there before the beating even started. “They saw the officers talking calmly to the man, who was just sitting on the curb. He started the video as soon as they started hitting him.’ Johnson, who posted the video on social media hours after the rampage, continued: “At no point did she see him attack a police officer. My sister said so in her statement to the FBI, which she gave on Monday. “We are happy that Randal Worcester is safe. My sister said police officers can’t hide behind their lies and that’s ultimately why we put the video out there.” Sheriff Damante said at a press conference that Worcester turned violent when Deputies Levi White and Zack King, along with Mulberry Police Officer Thell Riddle, tried to arrest him. “He was about to be taken into custody as part of their investigation at the scene – that’s when he became violent,” the law chief said. And lawyer Russell Wood, who is representing the two MPs, said on Tuesday that Worcester “viciously attacked” White after their interactions were “cordial to a point”. The attorney said the deputy was checking Worcester’s ID when “the suspect became enraged and viciously attacked Minister White by grabbing him by the legs, picking him up and body slamming him, head first, into the concrete parking lot.” He added: “White was incapacitated momentarily but remembers being struck repeatedly in the head and then seeing the suspect struggle with Corporal King and Officer Mulberry. “Deputy White re-engaged and used all force necessary to bring the violent suspect under control and into custody.” Worcester, of Goose Creek, South Carolina, was sitting without shoes when officers approached him Sunday morning after an alleged incident at another gas station in Alba, seven miles away, where he allegedly threatened to “cut the face off” of an employee .

At one point Officer Riddle picks up Worcester’s head and slams it into the concrete. Worcester appears to have already been handcuffed when the officers – who have all been suspended with full pay – launched their brutal attack. Johnson’s distraught sister got out of her car at one point and yelled at the officers to stop. But one of the cops can be seen shouting: “Back the f*** up.” Mulberry Police Chief Shannon Gregory said Riddle was on leave pending the outcome of the investigation The young woman, who does not want her full name to be released because she has told relatives she fears reprisals, was at the gas station to put air in a tire. He moved to Mulberry, about 140 miles northwest of the Arkansas state capital, Little Rock, four months ago and lives just a three-minute drive from the site of the outrage. The quiet town has a declining population, now around 1,600. DailyMail.com can also reveal that Johnson, 34, and her sister are not biased against law enforcement – ​​as they have two brothers who are federal officers and a first cousin in the police. Johnson, who lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, told DailyMail.com: “I was the first person my sister spoke to after she saw the attack. She was shocked and horrified. “He told me, ‘I’ve always been nice to the cops. It’s in our family.” “He said when they got to the gas station they noticed three officers were just talking to a man sitting on the curb. “He said he got up and looked like he was going to run. But he didn’t run. And instead they confronted him, and that’s when my sister and her girlfriend started shooting this video. “When my sister got out of the car and approached the police, they stopped beating the man. “She said when that happened, her girlfriend told her to get in the car and they had to go. Because they were afraid, my sister said she was afraid the cops would come after her, like they did Randall. “So he got back in the car and they drove straight home. They were afraid. He said, “Oh my God, we took this video, are they going to follow us home?” “My sister does not want her name to be revealed. He told me, don’t give it because I live here. She still feels scared.’ Johnson added that her brother would not speak directly to any media after she was “informed by the FBI that interviews would mean her testimony as a witness could not be used in court.” The sister was also surprised that other people who may have seen the beating did nothing to intervene. “He couldn’t believe that no one else who saw it would do something about it. He said there were other people around,” Johnson said. “He was saying, I don’t know if they were unaware of it or if they didn’t know what was going on.” Worcester was released on $15,000 bail from the Crawford County Jail on Monday, accompanied by his attorney Carrie Jernigan.
