Arkansas police officers suspended after a video shows brutal beating

Three police officers in Arkansas have been removed from duty after a bystander's video captured two of them brutally beating a suspect during an arrest. The incident is again raising questions about the use of force by police, when it's excessive and what can be done. Alex Vitale, a professor of sociology at Brooklyn College and author of "The End of Policing,” joins Amna Nawaz to discuss.
