That investigation will determine whether the officers violated police policy, according to communications manager Scott Erland.

An investigation by the DA’s office found that Edwards died of a stroke, clearing the officers of any criminal charges. At one point, an officer is heard telling Edwards “now you’re starting to piss me off,” calling her “dead weight.” While Edwards is on the ground, the officer who drives the wagon is heard having a discussion with another officer, saying that Edwards will not fit in the wagon and that could have health affects.
