The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has released body-worn camera footage from July 2022 showing a deputy punching a Black woman in the face twice as she held her 3-week-old baby during a traffic stop. The incident occurred when deputies stopped a car without headlights and smelled alcohol. The deputies used force to arrest the women and pry their children from their arms. The deputy involved has been disciplined, and the department is conducting internal and criminal investigations. Elected officials have condemned the deputy's actions and called for transparency, accountability, and improved training within the department.
