A second Chicago police officer has been placed on desk duty after video surfaced last week of another officer picking up a man and slamming him to the ground during a Thanksgiving day arrest.
The officer, who authorities say was"involved in the incident," will be relieved of his gun and badge and will be assigned to desk duty until the Civilian Office of Police Accountability completes a review of the incident, Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said on Twitter Wednesday.

Police say the officer performed an emergency takedown after the man, identified by police as 29-year-old Bernard Kersh, spat in the officer's face and threatened him.
