On the evening of Nov. 6, 48-year-old Kenneth Vinyard was pushed by a police officer to the pavement shortly after a shooting outside a Walmart in Center Township, Pennsylvania. He was dead within hours.
His fiancée—who was on the scene—said in an interview that Vinyard was hit “near the chest or throat area” by the cop, who authorities say was off-duty, for no reason. Video obtained by The Daily Beast appears to capture the moment in question.
“He kind of, like, hit a clothesline-type thing on him, and I don’t know if he was trying to sweep his leg or what, because he ended up on top of him,” Marcy Beatty, the fiancée, said in an interview.
