Calls for DOJ Investigation into Viral Arrest Video and Brutal Beating by Jacksonville Sheriff

Attorneys representing the family of Le'Keian Woods, whose forceful arrest by Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) officers went viral, have called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the incident and other issues within JSO. The attorneys argue that the arrest was unnecessarily violent and question the justification for pulling Woods over in the first place. They also criticize JSO for not providing full transparency in the release of the body-camera video. The attorneys hope that the DOJ's involvement will lead to the arrest of the officers involved. Woods, who suffered injuries during the arrest, is facing multiple charges, including armed trafficking, but there is no mention of a gun being recovered.
