COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio authorities on Friday released bodycam video showing a police officerin her car in what her family denounced as a "gross misuse of power and authority" against the pregnant Black mother.
The officer who shot Young is on paid administrative leave while the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation examines the shooting, which is standard practice. A police union official said calls to charge the officer before an investigation is complete are premature. A second officer who was on the scene has returned to active duty. Their names, races and ranks have not been released."Ms.
While viewing the video, the family felt "a lot of anger, a lot of frustration," Walton told the AP. "More than anything, there was ... a sense of just devastation, to know that this power system, these police officers, could stop her and so quickly take her life for no justifiable reason." In his interview with the AP on Friday, Walton denied that Young had stolen anything from the grocery store. He said his firm found a witness who saw Young put down bottles of alcohol as she left the store.
But Edward Obayashi, a national use-of-force expert and attorney who specializes in vehicle-related police shootings, said that while the officer who shot Young may have reasonably feared for his safety, it went against all his law enforcement training to be in front of her car in the first place. He said the officers' names cannot be released at this point because they are being treated as assault victims. He said one of the officer's arms was still partially in the driver's side window and a second officer was still standing in front of the car when Young moved the car forward.
