An unidentified Sacramento police officer has been put on administrative leave after a violent confrontation with a Black pedestrian. Police dash cams and a cell phone recorded the incident in which the officer accused Nandi Cain Jr. of jaywalking and began beating him after pinning him to the ground.
The incident comes at the same time U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is calling for a halt on nationwide police reform.
Cain, 24, was on his way home from work when the officer approached him and accused him of jaywalking. Cain told the officer he had looked both ways before crossing.
