Couple Asks Cop To Name His Supervisor, Cops Flies Into Violent Rage

A Belleville, Illinois police officer has been accused of police brutality after reports that he attacked a man during a call.

The incident that started it all happened back on June 14 when a Belleville couple was getting threatening phone calls. The couple called police for assistance. They claim the officer came to their home, but refused to file a report. When the couple asked for the name of the officer's supervisor, they say he went into a rage and became violent.

The victim's wife said the officer attacked her husband. The officer "grabbed him by the neck and threw him down on his back on the brick sidewalk," she said.
