The Los Angeles County sheriff says video footage of a deputy violently throwing a woman to the ground while she filmed a man being handcuffed in a grocery store parking lot is “disturbing.'
Luna said he had seen the body-camera video as well as bystander video that spread on social media.The Associated Press' efforts to reach the bystander Wednesday were not immediately successful.
One deputy is seen tackling the woman to the ground. “Get on the ground!” he can be heard shouting as he pins her down with his knee on her neck and shoulder. “Stop or you’ll get punched in the face!” The woman was treated at a hospital after complaining of pain to her eyes after being pepper-sprayed, and she also had scrapes to her arms, the sheriff said.
Yu said his client “approached” the woman to detain her. She replied, “you can’t touch me," the lawyer said.Yu also declined to release his client's name, reiterating that the department had not done so either.
