The Body Cam Footage has been released of a police encounter in Oklahoma. In the video the police disgustingly pepper spray an 84 year old woman and tase her son. In the video her son is tased, once tased the woman comes out to see what is going on. She is told to turn around and 40 seconds or so later, although posing no threat, the 84 year old woman is pepper sprayed by one of the officers. Check out the horrible video after the jump.

When the son of an 84 year old woman allegedly ran a stop sign he was pursued by police. The son then ran into his home. Police surrounded the house and ordered him to come out. When the son refused to step out, the officers went in. Once inside they found the boy, they then ordered him to come forward for arrest. They order him to show his hands, he listens and does show them. The police then tell him to come forward, he again complies. While stepping forward the police tase the boy anyway. The mother of the boy then comes out, she is ordered to turn around by police. The woman clearly trying to grab an understanding of the situation is only allowed 40 seconds, then, although posing no threat, an officer pepper sprays the 84 year woman. The video is very disturbing and shows the lack of compassion the police showed towards the old lady.

Empathy was not present in that room, the thought that the woman, at 84 years of age, could easily be the grandmother of any one of those responding officers did not cross there minds either. With all that said I wont let the act of a few officers from that department condemn them all. The department was very cooperative with the community, releasing body cam footage so that what happened that night could be transparent to all. For that I commend them and also I commend them for them investigating thoroughly as well. Check out the released body camera footage below.
