Controversy tonight over YouTube video that appears to show a St. Louis police officer beating man with a nightstick then pepper spraying him outside a south city gas station. Fox 2 was the first to tell police about the video-now an internal police investigation is underway. The man who says he took the video calls what took place a beating and says police used excessive force.
But the owner of Joel's Shell Food Mart at I-55 and Arsenal in south city says the force was justified because the officer was trying to subdue a man who was intoxicated.
