Woods’ family and the community tell Action News Jax’s Nick Gibson that they want the officers involved held accountable.According to Woods’ arrest report, he ran from police after officers tried to conduct a traffic stop. A portion of the video posted on social media appears to show an officer slamming Woods while he was already on the ground in handcuffs. Woods can later be seen with a bloody and swollen face.According to the report, Detectives were doing surveillance earlier that day at a gas station on Toledo Road and Powers Avenue before the encounter with Woods.They later observed a Dodge Ram arrive with three people inside. One of those people was Woods, the police report said.
“I could not believe they would do that to a person. Because if you kick a dog, or do something to an animal, you’re going down. So it’s OK to beat a human down like that, and there ain’t no pressure?” Gibson will have more details on what led up to Woods’ arrest on CBS47 and FOX30 Action News Jax at 5.

Although virtual work has existed for some time now, the pandemic has dramatically changed the context of work by fully removing the office, eliminating interpersonal contact and physical human interaction — and with it, opportunities to engage in tactics of manipulation or impression management. What does this all mean for office politics? Do the old norms and rules still apply? Can we expect a reduction in bias and nepotism, and an increase in meritocratic talent management practices? Is technology sanitizing the dark side of human behavior at work, forcing us to focus on our actual job performance, reducing the impact of informal networks and soft power at work? To be sure, an office-less environment isn’t a panacea. Human nature hasn’t changed overnight, and back channel communication and power plays won’t simply evaporate.
