Texas Officers Accused of "Brutalizing" Family on 911 Call Didn't Activate Body Cameras

Officers called to respond to a domestic dispute in the Dallas suburb of DeSoto in August either failed to activate their body-worn cameras or turned them off at some point during the incident, according to the Dallas Morning News .

The newspaper obtained the footage of the incident through the Texas open records law and compared it to a dashcam video released last year.

The dashcam shows six DeSoto officers responding to the home of Sammie Anderson in August 2018 after she asked a friend to call for help in breaking up an argument between her two oldest sons.

Officers reportedly took Anderson and her two sons to the ground, and deployed a TASER on at least one of the young men.

The Dallas County district attorney’s office continues to investigate the incident.
