TL;DR Summary

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna has called a video showing a deputy throwing a woman to the ground "disturbing" and has promised a thorough review of the incident. The video, captured by a bystander and body cameras, shows the deputy detaining a man outside a grocery store in response to a call about an assault on store employees. As the deputy detains the man, he approaches a woman recording the incident and forcibly throws her to the ground. The identities of those involved have not been released, and an investigation has been launched to determine if the use of force was reasonable and necessary. Community groups are demanding accountability and the firing of the deputies, while the mayor of Lancaster is reserving judgment until the investigation is complete. Both officers have been pulled off field duty.
