The Minnesota branch of the ACLU on Thursday released a police dashcam video showing what they termed "a textbook case of excessive force" and called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the 2016 arrest.

The video shows Agent Joe Joswiak of the Buffalo Ridge Drug Task Force, pulling over a motorist, identified as Anthony Promvongsa, 22, on July 28 of last year.

Joswiak quickly runs out of his car, instantly yells a series of expletives at Promvongsa and commands him to get out of the car right befofre kneeing and punching the driver.

The ACLU contends the arrest was unnecessarily physical and should spur an internal investigation by the Worthington Police Department.
