“All you had to do was listen,” a deputy told the woman. The man asks whether the woman is OK, and the woman later says she can't see as the deputies place them in separate police cars. She repeatedly asks why the deputy is "manhandling" her. He threatens to spray her again and then places her in handcuffs. The woman says she can't breathe moments before he sprays her in the face with OC spray, also called pepper spray, the video shows. During the struggle, the deputy threatens to punch the woman in the face and she threatens to sue him, according to the video. The footage shows the deputy repeatedly tells her to "stop" and get on the ground as he tries to restrain her. She can be heard saying "you can't touch me" as he reaches toward her and throws her to the ground. Meanwhile, the other deputy can be seen in a second video released by the department approaching a woman who appears to be filming the interaction on her cellphone. A deputy forces him to the ground as the man says that he is "not going to fight" and that the woman has cancer, according to the footage. The man can be heard asking why he is being arrested, and a deputy replies he is being detained. Two deputies approach the man, say they are going to pat him down and place him in handcuffs as he complains about a problem with his arm, the video shows. One of the body camera videos released by the department begins with a deputy arriving and repeatedly telling a man to put his hands on the hood of the car and sit down as the man insists he hasn't done anything wrong. "There’s no ifs and buts about it." What does the video show? "It’s disturbing,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Wednesday. The incident was captured on body camera and cellphone video. The encounter then "escalated into a use of force incident," the department said. The Los Angeles County sheriff's department has launched an investigation after two deputies were seen using force to detain two people at a grocery store last month in a "disturbing" video.ĭeputies responded to a report of a robbery in progress at a grocery store in Lancaster in northern Los Angeles County on June 24 and tried to detain a man and a woman police said matched the description given by store security personnel, the sheriff's department said in a statement Monday.
