Eli Arnold is a violent cop.
"Arnold sits above the average number of [use of force] reports every year, from 2019 to 2024. But two years in particular stand out for Arnold’s high use of force reports. In 2021, Arnold was particularly aggressive. He clocked in as the top officer in reported use of force that year, with 18 incidents. That’s nearly five times the average, based on the 465 officers who reported force during the same period. . . . The year 2023 was similar. Arnold was fifth among all officers who reported using force that year."
