The video shows an officer with the Rancho Cordova Police Department on top of the boy, pinning him down, and punching him repeatedly in the chest.
The deputy lost sight of the adult who left the area, then approached the juvenile for further investigation, Deterding said.
Stock photo. A California police officer is being investigated over his use of force after a video captured him punching a 14-year-old boy while attempting to detain him.She added that when the officer attempted to detain the teenager after"having reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was occurring," the boy became"physically resistive" and caused the deputy to lose control of his handcuffs, which landed several feet away.
She said the boy was cited after the officer recovered tobacco products and released to his guardians, but didn't reveal details of any charges. "But what was he even being arrested for?? For having a swisher? & they ended up letting him go so what was all of this for?? Smh he was left with scratches and chest pains! this was so unnecessary!" she wrote on Twitter.
