A body camera captured the moments a Glendale police officer used his taser 14 times on an alleged shoplifter on Tuesday afternoon.
It all started after the woman, who is accused of stealing items from a Walmart, was seen with brass knuckles. An officer worked to try and take her into custody, and a struggle ensued.In total, the taser was used 14 times. But investigators say they determined no policies were violated and are defending the officer's move.
Police said the officer suffered minor injuries after the woman allegedly scratched and bit him during the encounter, arguing the use of force was justified. Authorities also explained that it was a drive taser meant for pain compliance, not incapacitation, and gave context for the number of times that it was used.
Police say she had a medical episode and was taken to the hospital. She has since been discharged and booked into jail."He did everything we expect our officers to do," Winn said. "He provided clear commands, he was calm in his demeanor, he specifically told the subject what he needed to do, he told her she was going to be tased if she did not comply. In addition, he used appropriate force, and he called medical when he needed to.
