The Los Angeles County sheriff’s department has launched an investigation after two deputies were seeing using force to detain two people at a grocery store last month in a “disturbing” video. Deputies responded to a report of a robbery in progress at a grocery store in Lancaster in northern Los Angeles County on June 24 and attempted 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.
“As deputies attempted to detain the individuals described by store security personnel, the encounter escalated into a use of force incident that was captured by a community member with a cellphone camera,” the statement said. “The video is disturbing.”

Resisting is not an option. When will people learn?
And where’s the rest of the story where she is also a robbery suspect? Nice media lies. ✊🏾💩
love!! the police Love!!
She is crook shoplifting, pushing the security spit in face, and it is her fault
That lady rob the store
😂 i cant breathe. What a joke
guilty till proven innocent
Now it comes out that she was wrongfully accused of stealing the cake in the first f**** place This is ridiculous
Somebody should body slam and pepper spray and punch his ass in the face
Scrapes bruises can't breathe! Here let me spray u while ur down there cuffed. Who cares about scripts 😮 really druggies while help themselves. Its abuse!
all they had to do was comply. they made their choice. I'm fine with it
"GET YOUR NECK OFFA MY , OFFA MY "Here we go! 44 seconds in and she's screaming 'I can't breathe' ! We can see nOTHING on her neck, she's not being restrained at this time whatsoever. Jeez people. Ya gotta stop with that tired lame a$$ b.shyttery!
Seen the whole body cam footage. Love how it’s once again taken out of context. Reminds me of a certain situation
Omg….Not again.
Classic LASD gang member activity
The LA County Pigriff’s Office was infiltrated by gang bangers, many years ago, and continues to be contaminated with filth, dishonesty, and corruption to this day. Sad!!!!
Cops ain’t ya friends people!!!! They’re there to generate revenue for the state, put you through the system as they “legally” rob you, and try to violate ya rights.
Another Karen Garner case of cop loving to abuse Anyone! 🤬
Bad Cops are like Manure the Police Unions fight to keep them employed after a wrongdoing. So, what do they do just spread these Unprofessional pieces of fecal matter to other police departments so they all can stink to high heaven.
This was retaliation for recording. Officer has no respect for the public and is unfit for duty.
everyone losing their minds
me laughing at another entitled sheeboon getting tossed yelling I CANT BREEEEV
Yeah, I saw this on instagram and like any other people don’t record the whole story so I just looked this up and i was like “This guy is wearing a mask definitely innocent, and so was the woman like yeah”, and she just shoved the officer because he told her to simply stop recording cuz he knew what she was trying to do typical people trying ruin officers career when their simply doing their job
Edit; and top it off their trying to play victim by saying my arm is bad and her saying get your leg off my neck I can’t breathe like…sure and if you can yell that and say you got them on camera you can breathe just fine 😓🙄
Ah the LAPD living up to that reputation.
She was clearly resisting talking about; “ don’t touch me!” he told her to get facedown on the ground, she kept yelling and arguing. “A. A person shall not wilfully fail or refuse to comply with any lawful order or direction of a police officer”
Some of these comments lack any sort of critical thinking. Get it out of your head that she was arrested for recording and accept the fact that she was arrested for THEFT and for ASSAULTING THE EMPLOYEES because her and her husband got caught STEALING. Did you see how the husband was calm and didnt resist? It's astonishing how many of you ignore what REALLY happened here just to fit your own narrative.
We know you need a reason to riot, you're about due, it's been awhile. Please loot, burn and pillage your own neighborhood not somebody elses. Thanks.
I feel so sorry for all you guys over there having to even tell people that that’s it wrong you don’t treat people like that and you are meant to be trained professionals. Every country got its problems but sheeesh I’m so glad I’m not having my kids in the US. Hate has clouded their minds. People can justify this shit and have a mother that’s fuking scaryshit
Big deal yah cry babies
Anyone wonder why the video clip starts midway through and selectively shows only the portion that the media wants you to see?
They violently assaulted store security personnel, police came to arrest them, during the arrest of the male violent criminal, the female violent criminal assaulted a police officer.
I have ZERO sympathy for violent criminals who create their own problems and then claim to be victims. I have even less sympathy for those who unwittingly believe the false narratives of the left-wing media which is destroying the country.
Damn imagine that..yiu can commit a crime,assault employees and somehow be called a victim smh
Wheres all those cowardly gangbangers at? The ones who lurk around
every street corner looking for trouble. nothing to do. willing to crash out and do life
if another black man disagrees with them. But silent when these police disrespect you.
thats why i dont respect those punks at all.
they will shoot another black man over a cap or colors but
when they see an elderly from their community they
cower and hide.
nuttin' to see here people … move it along !
It took more than a week for this routine abuse to enter the sheriff's consciousness . . .
. . . and only because of a viral video
(which is seemingly what the abuser was trying to suppress) ?
Bullet
cops like these need to be prisoned then sued qualified immunity has got to be abolished
Only thing I can say that the news media be blowing this out of proportion to sensationalize the news so they get more ratings. There's more to the story than this officer slamming this woman of color to the ground for no reason.
This is not the full video.She tried to slap the officer
Her and her husband had assaulted a store employee, and had been stealing. That’s why the police were called. People do your research and don’t immediately believe what the news and social media tells you. Have thoughts and opinions of your own
I didn't do nothin
So if police are out to kill unarmed black men why do we wait months and months for the next incident. When it happens again it’ll be talked about like it’s out of control and it happens thousand of times a day. Same old media.
Can’t wait til people with phones start getting them smashed. Everybody trying to make a buck
Name and address please
Well sounds like they kept stealing until 💩 happens….
I'm a klansmen and i need to know where the cross burning is tonight?
not sure exactly what was going on here , as it is a very short clip , and everyone is quick to say it is a racist incident , i do think it was unnecessary for the cop to throw down an older woman
“I can’t breathe!” = I seek my chance to win the “Getto Lottery”
This is why we just let them steal the cake and the rest of us just all pay more.
Thief gets rewarded
Officer rightfully gets fired.
Sadly we all pay.
Just look at the Whiteman
"That's the way she wants it – that's the way she gets it."
All y’all in the comments are racist flat out ! The cop was racist ! He threw her on the ground because she was recording. Just because you are a cop does not give you the right to throw any one on the ground. Y’all hate black people so much and it’s sad. All these years an we are hated because of our skin color. Let that would have been a dog y’all would be out raged an crying gtfo
