Texas Deputy Who Tased Unarmed Refugee Child Won't Be Disciplined

https://revealnews.org/article/texas-deputy-who-tased-unarmed-refugee-child-wont-be-disciplined/

A Texas sheriff’s deputy won’t face punishment for tasing an unarmed refugee child at one of the federal government’s shelters for migrant children in 2020.

After Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting published body camera footage of the encounter in June, drawing global attention to the incident, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office immediately placed the deputy, Patrick Divers, on administrative leave pending an investigation.

Since then, Sheriff Javier Salazar’s department has provided so many contradictory and confusing statements about its investigation into the deputy’s conduct that it can be difficult to understand what’s going on at the department, which serves the area around San Antonio.

In December, the department told Reveal reporters that Divers had returned to work, but the investigation was ongoing.
