Show Notes
Officer Stephen Heffernan, of the Hamilton, Ohio police department, faces assault charges following a body camera video showing him roughly handling a sixty-two-year-old suspect during booking. Despite the officers claim that the man refused to sit and lunged at him, the video contradicts this, showing the suspect seated with hands cuffed behind his back. The officer was initially suspended for twenty days, but a grand jury has now certified four counts of misdemeanor assault against him. He is currently on paid administrative leave as the criminal case proceeds, sparking discussions on police accountability in use-of-force incidents.
