YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter allegedly rolling a stop sign, a young black male ran from the police. They chased him to the home of 84yearold Geneva Smith, who they pepper sprayed in the face. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"On Aug. 7, police officers in Muskogee, Oklahoma, chased a suspect into the home of 84-year-old Geneva Smith and ended up pepper spraying her. On Friday, local Fox News outlet Fox23 released body cam footage of the encounter, raising the questions: Why was pepper spray necessary or appropriate?
"This is a very important issue," Muskogee police chief Rex Eskridge told Fox23. "There's a lot of misinformation out there. There is a lot of prejudgment out there and a lot of concern."
Authorities released the video for transparency's sake, according to Fox23. It shows police kicking in Smith's front door in pursuit of her son, Arthur Paul Blackmon, who'd run a stop sign. Police followed Blackmon to Smith's home and demanded he come outside. He didn't, so they went in and used a Taser on him, although his hands were up.”*
