Two Kansas City police officers have been disciplined and a charge has been dropped against a man held down at a Walmart last week, in an incident captured on video.
A man said his 24-year-old nephew was taken to the ground and held down by officers after being accused of stealing a pizza Thursday, and video of him being pinned down by police was posted on TikTok.
Police spokesperson Nancy Chartrand said that technique involved one officer's placement of his knee on the neck area of the person being restrained, which is seen on the video. “It is our determination that the officer should have disengaged at that time due to the circumstances,” the police department said in a statement Monday.The video, recorded by the man's uncle, shows the interaction after the man is already on the ground and is being held down by an officer.People standing around can be heard in the video telling officers that the man had a receipt and that he had been next to them in line paying.
The police department has said it began investigating the incident before the video was posted online.
