Philadelphia Police Internal Affairs is investigating, according to WCAU-TV.

The clip shows a group of cops gathered on North 5th St. Sunday afternoon, apparently handcuffing a man pressed up against a car. Someone in the crowd flings water from a bottle at them, and Josey turns around in the direction it came from.
