Police in Michigan City, Indiana just released bodycam video of an incident involving officers and a man who is now seriously injured.
That bodycam video was released Thursday afternoon. It comes from a single camera and depicts what Michigan City Police said is the entire interaction between their officers and Tahir Kelly until he was loaded into the ambulance. They said its content shows the extent of their actions and justifies the means used.Whether it was justified use of force or not depends on who you ask.
The officer wearing the camera can be heard asking Kelly his name. After Kelly gave a response, the officer then briefly goes back to his squad car before returning to question Kelly more.Kelly is then seen running away from officers who then deploy a taser and Kelly falls to the ground. Kelly's family was shown the bodycam video Wednesday. Baylor said she closed her eyes before her son was tased, unwilling to see what happened next.
"Two different individuals share with the officer who tased Tahir that Tahir wasn't the person they were looking for and yet he got tased," said Cannon Lambert, an attorney with Karchmar & Lambert, P.C.
