'The deputy recovered tobacco products from the 14-year-old juvenile,' police said (via toofab)
The cop suspected the teen, who has a pre-existing medical condition, of possessing marijuana — which he did not have.
The video was posted by an older sister of one of the boy's friends, and quickly racked up almost 6million views."RCPD brutally tackled and hit my best friend's 14 year old brother today over a swisher sweet!" she wrote.
"PS. Also let me clarify, the child didn't have marijuana on him. Just a Swisher," she added. "I think it matters zero if he was smoking marijuana, but there are a bunch of people in the comments already using that as justification for the brutality, so there's that."In response, Rancho Cordova Police Department issued a statement confirming the incident was being investigated, and gave the officer's version of events.
"As the deputy turned around, he lost sight of the adult, who left the area. When the deputy approached the juvenile, the juvenile was uncooperative and refused to give the deputy basic identifying information."
