Man gets arrested apparently for being assaulted by police officer

A video filmed by blogger Jade Cervantes, showing a man getting arrested by Fort Collins PD officer Kyle Bendzsa, after being shoved for no apparent reason by another police officer, is causing quite a stir on the Internet today.

"We don't want to jump to conclusions. But I want to assure the public that we will look carefully at what took place in the video and get a clear picture about what happened," said police spokesman Sgt. Jon Holsten, who also runs Internal Affairs. "The chief has ordered a review of the video and asked us to get to the bottom of it."

Holsten said officers investigating the video are still trying to determine when the video was shot, the identity of the man involved, and what happened before and after the video was shot. He said police have received no formal complaints about the incident.
