Her attorney says Leslie Furcron did not deserve to be shot in the head with a beanbag after throwing an object during a May 30 protest in La Mesa.
Police on Wednesday released a video that shows a police detective shooting a woman in the head with a beanbag after she apparently threw an object during a May 30 protest that turned violent outside the La Mesa Police Department headquarters.
According to police, Furcron threw the unidentified object toward San Diego County sheriff’s deputies, who are not visible in the footage. The La Mesa police detective who shot her was positioned in a different location from the deputies.Furcron’s attorney, Dante Pride, said the video does not change his view that the shooting was an unjustified, excessive use of force.
Vasquez had said previously that the investigation into the shooting would include an “in-depth” look at the Police Department’s crowd-control practices. The chief did not address crowd-control tactics Wednesday, when officials released a video statement from him, footage from two body-worn cameras and a ““Please know that I continue to pray for Ms. Furcron in hopes that she continues to heal and makes a full recovery with her family at home,” Vasquez said in his video statement.
