Jenny DeLeon was charged with battery and resisting an officer with violence, according to court documents. Bodycam footage showed that DeLeon, who was unarmed, was grabbed by the neck and tasered possibly after grabbing the officer. Officer Sean Bush also made a derogatory comment about DeLeon to other officers during the arrest. Inside Edition Digital has more

    He choked her, tazed her despite her saying she’s epileptic, and then hogtied her. What part of that was unintended?

    Resistance is just not always clear some ppl are scared and have never been arrested or dealt with police. I mean it’s easy to say comply but I never judge ppl mind it’s shocking to be arrested.



  3. Judy Alcatraz on August 9, 2023 at 4:43 pm

    And just when exactly did the person grab the officers wrist 🙄



  4. oxycodeine on August 9, 2023 at 4:43 pm

    So sad.



  5. Lovette Williams on August 9, 2023 at 4:44 pm

    SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️ the officers 👮‍♂️ on this call 📞 should all be fired!



  6. Bell6dandy on August 9, 2023 at 4:44 pm

    WHAT THE F*CK!!! UNINTENTIONALLY?? Shame on this officer! Aren’t they taught deescalation techniques??



  7. SA Inja woof on August 9, 2023 at 4:45 pm

    Purely open hatred and just a completely disgusting show of power hungry cops with zero intelligence.



  8. babybling on August 9, 2023 at 4:46 pm

    honestly disgusting. she didn’t even do anything or even threatened the police due to what i’ve seen. plus, the fact that they were saying some transphobic shit is just disgusting.



  9. DriftWood on August 9, 2023 at 4:47 pm

    I would b scared for my life if I had a cop like this around my neighborhood, I would be more scared to call the police and get this guy to come help me more than the reason I wanted help, an officer who choked and tazed someone for problems that did not require that much violence, it’s terrifying and heart breaking to know that the people u are supposed to rely on are more willing to hurt you than take more humane and rational actions 💔



  10. Perla Moreno on August 9, 2023 at 4:48 pm

    "in a separate case she was fatally stabbed" sounds like retaliation to me.



  11. Lovette Williams on August 9, 2023 at 4:49 pm

    May Jenny rest up now.. so sad 😭 all lives matter baby!!!



  12. Renee S on August 9, 2023 at 4:49 pm

    Maybe Inside Edition will follow up on the murders court status.



  13. A Toaster on August 9, 2023 at 4:50 pm

    Omg it’s a hate crime against the trans community *huhhhhhhhhhh*



  14. Poison Davis on August 9, 2023 at 4:50 pm

    Whats just as upsetting as this video is the people backing the obviously transphobic officer like he did his job. He did not do his job he choked her. Its obvious he was intending to hurt her. And the fact all the transphobic comments have more upvotes than the ones acknowledging something wrong happened is sickening. You guys should be ashamed!



  15. dear•leader on August 9, 2023 at 4:51 pm

    this should have had way more media attention than it got



  16. EAGLE on August 9, 2023 at 4:54 pm

    Police always investigating themselves and they never find nothing wrong! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣



  17. Kashmir on August 9, 2023 at 4:56 pm

    Seems like a normal day in America.



  18. Sandi Holbrook on August 9, 2023 at 4:57 pm

    Horrible & sad!! I didn’t see her touch him at flipping all!! She didn’t deserve this at all!! Pisses me off!! No thumbs up for me



  19. Renee S on August 9, 2023 at 4:58 pm

    The subject was murdered after this encounter with police. I find no updates on the Perpetrator after his arrest. Total silence on his June 22 hearing.



  20. Klusterfrick on August 9, 2023 at 5:01 pm

    Cops committed a hate crime



  21. Reginald Johnson on August 9, 2023 at 5:01 pm

    I would say the officer needs training



  22. EJ 74 on August 9, 2023 at 5:03 pm

    and cops wonder why more and more people hate them everyday 😡🤬

  23. MrSEALman on August 9, 2023 at 5:03 pm

    Based cops



  24. Leslie Wheeler on August 9, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    He was looking for a reason to hurt her… Then, he called her an "it". I pray for justice🙏🏾🕊️



  25. Dez Rodriguez on August 9, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    He was waiting for her to make the slightest move so he could get aggressive with her. You can tell the cop enjoys implementing his sadistic tactics. Even with the body cam on, he knew he could get away with it.



  26. Goddess Free Spirit on August 9, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    It didn’t look like she touched him 😮😮 I rewinded it a couple times 😮



  27. princess lily on August 9, 2023 at 5:06 pm

    she barely waved her arm towards him and he gets to choke her ??? the fuhhh



  28. Peter on August 9, 2023 at 5:10 pm

    This is why no one trust the cops.



  29. BAYAREAversace artdrian on August 9, 2023 at 5:10 pm

    Lawyer UP ABUSE OF FORCE.



  30. Debbie Cooper on August 9, 2023 at 5:10 pm

    OMG



  31. Molly Ram on August 9, 2023 at 5:12 pm

    WTFFFFFFFFFFFF that officer needs to be LET GO. I didn’t see anything warranting that sort of force. FULL ON choking… how creepy!! Some cops have deep seated issues



  32. CaliforniaDreamin on August 9, 2023 at 5:13 pm

    The police are supposed to de-escalate not escalate things. I know police are tired of dealing with drunk/high people but come on now! 😡



  33. Goddess Free Spirit on August 9, 2023 at 5:13 pm

    That doesn’t mean beat her up because she didn’t follow commands she didn’t grab him



  34. Alma Santiago on August 9, 2023 at 5:15 pm

    that cop was looking for a reason to act crazy



  35. BLACK NOT NIGGA on August 9, 2023 at 5:15 pm

    RIP JENNY



  36. Shellx_ Vendor on August 9, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    the same people that are suppose to protect us are hurting us they need to be fired.



  37. birdy4life on August 9, 2023 at 5:19 pm

    that officier needs to be fired



  38. JustJustice on August 9, 2023 at 5:21 pm

    This is why no one trust the Police



  39. Ben on August 9, 2023 at 5:29 pm

    Police will never admit to any wrong because it will stain thier reputation



  40. Krabs STD on August 9, 2023 at 5:29 pm

    This video really goes to show why the police are the most narcissistic, racist, and homophobic people alive smh🐷



  41. A Bush on August 9, 2023 at 5:29 pm

    The audacity in the cop saying "keep whatever this is down" is so disgusting, he talks about her like she isn’t human. This whole video is appalling.



  42. Oscar Ramirez on August 9, 2023 at 5:30 pm

    Don’t call the police



  43. M on August 9, 2023 at 5:30 pm

    Not in line with procedures the least to say…



  44. Cyb3rAng3l on August 9, 2023 at 5:31 pm

    “She grabbed the officers wrist to cause off balance” LIES!

    RIP 🙏🏼



  45. Mary Wynne on August 9, 2023 at 5:34 pm

    I understand having to use some force to arrest someone who’s resisting, but this is excessive. Choking is not okay. Ever.



  46. Cal Goalden on August 9, 2023 at 5:36 pm

    cops always act like this, doesn’t madder who you are



  47. Jason Crable Philly Transit Boss on August 9, 2023 at 5:36 pm

    Damn Cop Wrong For That Chocking That Lady



  48. Charlie Angel on August 9, 2023 at 5:36 pm

    Disgusting!!! Sue them!



  49. Nutella Manboi on August 9, 2023 at 5:38 pm

    Even if she was intoxicated there was no need to justify the cops actions. The fact she was also stabbed makes it worse. May Jenny rest in piece



  50. Daniel D on August 9, 2023 at 5:38 pm

    The “officer” should be absolutely fired and probably prosecuted for assault and battery. I think he was just itching to use that taser on someone and that poor person who appeared to have a pretty difficult life was in the sights. Very sad. Very angering. We need police to be much much better than this.
