White police officers from Chicago Heights, Illinois, are accused of brutalizing several black men during a recent arrest.

According to a newly posted YouTube video, the incident occurred during the "early morning hours of April 7, 2012".

The narrative included in the footage claims the so-called victims were beaten and arrested for no apparent reason.

The man seen in the photographs was knocked to the ground, dragged several feet along the pavement face-down, and pepper sprayed, alleges the complainant.

The video also states that the so-called victims, as well as innocent bystanders, were called "ugly racial slurs" by the officers.

As with most videos of this nature, the recording starts after the confrontation is in full swing. So we have no idea what preceded this event.

Furthermore, there was nothing in the video to support the claim that the officers used racial slurs.
