Martese Johnson, an honors student from Chicago, required 10 stitches after being beaten by University of Virginia police during an arrest after allegedly using a fake ID to get into a campus area bar. His violent arrest led to a student protest of police brutality Wednesday and a call from the UVA president for an investigation.
