AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into an incident at an Oklahoma airport during which police dragged a bound man face-down across the floor.
ABC News says that the incident took place a month ago when one man was arrested during a disturbance at a security checkpoint.
The man involved was allegedly trying to speak with politician Newt Gingrich, who is campaigning for the Republican Party’s presidential election nomination, when he tried to walk the wrong way through security.
Police spokesperson Captain Dexter Nelson said that the man began making a number of claims such as that he was the head of the CIA and that officers used a taser on him before handcuffing him and taking him away by his feet.
Nelson told KFOR News that CCTV footage of the incident raised concerns and sparked the internal inquiry. He said that the man arrested has not filed a complaint and that he was himself released without charge. One of the officers involved has been put on restricted duty pending the outcome of the investigation, but two others allegedly involved remain on regular duty.

Great, 84 new real estate agents.
I’ll cross my fingers for them as I believe the Central Bank just strangled their golden goose.
The main problem we have is the amount of money being taken out of our economy to service a debt run up by irresponsible banks, both here and abroad. Until that problem is tackled there just isn’t enough money in our economy for real sustained growth for indigenous businesses. I’ve only stayed in business because I did not have huge loans to service and I was able to keep my overheads low. Ive seen plenty of good businesses go under because they can no longer sustain the overheads imposed by landlords & councils that still work on tiger prices.
Michael,
The banks were less than half the problem. The collapse of govt revenue and inability to cut the servicing of public services quickly to match revenue was just as big a problem
That’s true James.
Isn’t that it will “beat all predictions” a prediction, meaning that it can never actually beat all predictions?
Another flash in the pan.
