Witnesses have come forward to defend Daniel Penny, the man seen on police body camera video being arrested by officers in a controversial incident. The witnesses claim that the video, which shows Penny being tackled to the ground and handcuffed, does not accurately portray the events leading up to the arrest. They say that Penny was not resisting arrest and that the officers used excessive force. The witnesses’ accounts have raised questions about the police department’s handling of the incident.
