U.S. Forces Japan have admitted to making a “mistake” after aggressively detaining an American citizen who was on a business trip in Japan. Footage showing an officer aggressively slamming Kareem El into the pavement has since gone viral online.
The footage shows El standing on the sidewalk as a uniformed officer grabs him from behind and proceeds to lift him up and then slam him into the ground. They then detained him despite El having done nothing wrong. He also sustained some nasty injuries to his face and body due to the aggressive way in which he was apprehended.
