https://abcnews.go.com/US/cincinnati-police-officer-tases-11-year-suspected-shoplifting/story?id=57635409&cid=social_twitter_abcn

Police in Cincinnati released bodycam video on Tuesday of an officer telling an 11-year-old girl, after he used a taser on her for allegedly shoplifting, that "this is why there arent any grocery stores in the Black community," an internal review showed.

The incident happened while police officer Kevin Brown was working "an outside employment extension of police services detail" at a Krogers grocery store on August 6, according to the Cincinnati Police Department.

Brown witnessed three girls attempting to shoplift items, the review, posted by ABC affiliate WCPO stated.

As all three tried to leave the store, Brown repeatedly asked them to stop. When they refused his commands, Brown deployed the taser at one of the girls, the internal review said.

Officer Brown did not turn on his bodycam video until after he tased the girl. After deploying the taser, Brown then placed her in handcuffs and escorted her to the back of the store, according to the use of force review of the incident.

"The last thing I want to do is tase you like that," Brown tells the girl in the video. "That hurt my heart to do that to you. Then I got to listen to all these idiots out here in the parking lot tell me how I was wrong for tasing you."

When Brown searched the girl's backpack, he found "clothing, and consumable goods which included food and beverage" which was worth just over $53, the review said.

The items included "candy and beef jerky, as well as infant clothing," according to the report. The backpack also belonged to the Kroger's, the review stated.

The girl told the officer that she "took a backpack but the two other juveniles placed items in the bag," the internal review said.

The girl was later taken to the Childrens Hospital Medical Center for evaluation, and then released, according to Cincinnati police.

The use of force review of the incident found that Brown violated several department rules including using a TASER without giving a verbal warning he was about to do so, using a TASER when not reasonably necessary and expressing prejudice concerning race.

After ordering the girl several times to stop and show him a receipt for her purchases, Brown used his TASER on her, according to the review. One barb from the weapon hit her in the back, and another hit her below the waist, documents showed. She then fell to the ground, after which Brown handcuffed her and brought her back into the store.

Brown knew the girl "did not appear to be a threat to himself or others," the review stated. It also says that "Brown was referencing the closing of a number of Kroger stores in black communities, which he believed resulted from large amounts of theft losses."

Brown had been placed on restricted duty pending the outcome of the investigation, according to police.

Brown now will face a pre-disciplinary hearing, ABC Affiliate WCPO reported.

Cincinnati Police Union President Dan Hils defended Brown.

"I think the officer was trying to express to this juvenile suspect that there are consequences, not only to herself, but to others when you dont respect the property rights of another," Hils said in a statement to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

I wonder what restricted duty is in this instance. If you're going to fuck up at a grocery story I'm not sure how well you can function as a cop.

This is a widely reported phenomenon known as food deserts. Often times most people in these areas only have the option of going to a corner store to buy goods, which may or may not have fresh groceries.

Doesn't matter. It is still a racist comment. He should still be severely ostracized and punished for that and for excessive force. But he's a cop so he'll get a slap on the wrist.

So why is that happening? Seems like a gap in the market that a store could capitalize on.

It's rare to see a big box store like walmart in the hood. They opened a kmart right on the detroit border and it was shoplifted and robbed about a billion times. Then it turned into almost a fortress with checkpoints and armed security all around before it finally took a shit back in about 2008. That had to be making no money. Which is sad for even Kmart

Most cops in the Cincinnati area are sacks of shit. Especially areas like Springdale and Lockland, but the real asshole cops are in West Chester and Mason.

I don't know why anyone thinks this. It is definitely possible to be racist against your own race and consider yourself to be "one of the good ones" for example.

Strangely enough some of the same people that are saying "Well the cop was black!" are some of the same people that complain about self-hating white people.

I'm not defending the cop. I never did. If you look my first post I said it was excessive violence. I just don't think this is an act of racism. He's just an asshole
