Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna released the body camera footage Wednesday, citing the need
for transparency to foster public trust and addressing two separate use-of-force incidents at a press
conference.

Luna said he found the mom’s punching “completely unacceptable.”

The sheriff said he has sent the case to the county district attorney’s office, which will decide whether to
file criminal charges against the deputy.

The deputy who punched the mom has been taken off field duty, according to Luna.

He has not been identified.

“Ibelieve this is an isolated incident committed by an individual that will be held accountable,” the sheriff
added.

Last week, Luna said two deputies had been pulled from field duty after a video emerged of a deputy in
Lancaster tackling a woman while she filmed a man being handcuffed and pepper-sprayed in the face in
late June.

In both cases, Luna, who took over the sheriff’s department in December, said he had only recently
learned of the incidents.

Although the sheriff said state law prevents him from revealing specific disciplinary actions against
deputies, he has said those involved in improper use of force could face anything from additional training
to days off or firing.
