Tortured, Detained & Denied Health Care After Being Severely Beaten by Deputy in Arkansas

A man in Arkansas is arrested, detained, beaten, tortured, has his teeth knocked out among other serious injures…he is then denied health care which he requested and held for 10 hours… Oh and the unarmed man suffered these abuses because of a parking ticket right here in the “good ol’ USA.”
