Witnesses say police go on verbal rant, use aggressive tactics against actors.

Actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright,the two stars of the upcoming George W. Bush biopic who were arrested in a Lousiana bar last week, were seen on a cell phone video being pepper sprayed and tased by police, TMZ.com reports.

The incident, which occurred in Shreveport during a wrap party for Oliver Stone's film, W., allegedly saw Wright, who plays Colin Powell in the film, being repeatedly pepper sprayed and tasered by police as he lay face down in the street, the Web site says. Witnesses also say that they heard police use profane language, inlcuding the "N" word.

Witnesses also said that Brolin, who was standing still trying to make peace, was repeatedly pepper sprayed by police.

The Shreveport city attorney has not decided whether to file charges against anybody involved in the incident, TMZ.com reports.
