“The officer slammed that guy down, maybe two or three feet in front of me,” Edwards says.Įdwards’ Austin gay bar arrest video shows an Austin police officer sitting astride a shirtless man laying on the sidewalk, repeatedly punching him in the face as a woman repeatedly screams “Stop! Stop it!” When he resumes punching the man and she tries to intervene, he points a finger at her and yells, “You need to back the fuck up or you’re gonna go to jail!”Īfter they flip over and handcuff the man.
When he left at 1:30 a.m., he saw a police officer tackle a man onto the sidewalk, and so Edwards started recording with his phone.
Edwards had been drinking at Rain with his softball teammates early Wednesday morning.
