DALLAS, TEXAS (AP) -- Two Dallas police patrol sergeants have been transferred off the streets pending the outcome of an investigation into whether officers used improper force against three suspects and a Taser on one of them.
The Dallas Morning News reports much of the March 20 incident in a downtown Dallas freeway interchange was captured on dash cam video and audio.
Senior police officials who reviewed the dash cam recordings told the newspaper that a Dallas police sergeant can be heard yelling as another officer uses a Taser to stun a handcuffed suspect.
Dallas police spokesman Lt. Andy Harvey tells Dallas-Fort Worth station KTVT that something took place that one officer found inappropriate.
Dallas police are still dealing with the national fallout from dash cam video that showed an officer delaying NFL player Ryan Moats from visiting a dying relative at a Plano hospital in the early morning hours of March 18.
Patrol Sgts. Elisa Martinez and Elliott Forge were transferred, the newspaper reported.
Sr. Cpl. Armando Dominguez, who fired the Taser, remains on patrol.
Phil Burleson, who is representing Forge and Dominguez, said his clients deny that they did anything improper.
