Cops Choke and Use Taser on Unarmed Trans Woman During Arrest
Cops Choke and Use Taser on Unarmed Trans Woman During Arrest
Bodycam video shows that a Florida sheriff may have used excessive force while arresting a transgender woman in 2020. 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.
And just when exactly did the person grab the officers wrist 🙄
So sad.
SMH 🤦🏽♀️ the officers 👮♂️ on this call 📞 should all be fired!
WHAT THE F*CK!!! UNINTENTIONALLY?? Shame on this officer! Aren’t they taught deescalation techniques??
Purely open hatred and just a completely disgusting show of power hungry cops with zero intelligence.
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.
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 💔
"in a separate case she was fatally stabbed" sounds like retaliation to me.
May Jenny rest up now.. so sad 😭 all lives matter baby!!!
Maybe Inside Edition will follow up on the murders court status.
Omg it’s a hate crime against the trans community *huhhhhhhhhhh*
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!
this should have had way more media attention than it got
Police always investigating themselves and they never find nothing wrong! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seems like a normal day in America.
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
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.
Cops committed a hate crime
I would say the officer needs training
and cops wonder why more and more people hate them everyday 😡🤬
Back The Blue Till It Happens To You
Based cops
He was looking for a reason to hurt her… Then, he called her an "it". I pray for justice🙏🏾🕊️
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.
It didn’t look like she touched him 😮😮 I rewinded it a couple times 😮
she barely waved her arm towards him and he gets to choke her ??? the fuhhh
This is why no one trust the cops.
Lawyer UP ABUSE OF FORCE.
OMG
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
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! 😡
That doesn’t mean beat her up because she didn’t follow commands she didn’t grab him
that cop was looking for a reason to act crazy
RIP JENNY
the same people that are suppose to protect us are hurting us they need to be fired.
that officier needs to be fired
This is why no one trust the Police
Police will never admit to any wrong because it will stain thier reputation
This video really goes to show why the police are the most narcissistic, racist, and homophobic people alive smh🐷
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.
Don’t call the police
Not in line with procedures the least to say…
“She grabbed the officers wrist to cause off balance” LIES!
RIP 🙏🏼
I understand having to use some force to arrest someone who’s resisting, but this is excessive. Choking is not okay. Ever.
cops always act like this, doesn’t madder who you are
Damn Cop Wrong For That Chocking That Lady
Disgusting!!! Sue them!
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
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.
