Newly leaked video footage shows a police supervisor in Balch Springs — the same town where an officer was fired for the fatal shooting of Jordan Edwards — using a Taser on a handcuffed, compliant Black suspect. The department is now concerned about the public’s perception of its officers, while the incident raises questions about the officers’ training.
FOX 4 received the video footage, dated April 28, 2016, and stated that it is unclear where the video came from or who sent it to the news outlet.
The video was recorded from a body camera on the unknown officer who used his Taser on 39-year-old Marco Stephenson. The officer in question has only been identified as a supervisor with the department.
