Inmate became argumentative when he was ordered to remove braids from his hair. Officers attempted to defuse the situation. As they were trying to get the inmate outside, the inmate turned and punched the officer in the head. Officers grabbed a hold of the inmate and forced him to the ground. Inmate struggled until restraints were applied.  While entering the infirmary, the inmate kicked an officer in the leg.
