A California deputy is under investigation after a disturbing viral video showed him punching and choking a teenage boy during an arrest, authorities said.
The Rancho Cordova Police Department and the Sacramento County Sheriffs Office announced an investigation into the use of force by our deputy after a video of the April 27 incident posted on Twitter on Tuesday received more than two million views and was shared by former Democratic presidential candidates Julian Castro and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).
This is a horrific abuse of power, Harris tweeted. This officer must be held accountable.
