After deputy throws woman to ground, LA County Sheriff says probe will go beyond viral video

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna on Wednesday provided new details about an investigation into an altercation in Lancaster in which a deputy threw a woman to the ground.

The department on Monday released body camera footage of the June 24 incident, and the sheriff said discipline as well as dismissal were "all on the table."

Luna said at Wednesday's news conference that the department's investigation into the incident would go beyond the viral video, which he called "disturbing," and take into account events leading up to the incident. He also mentioned that deputies' workload and stress would be taken into consideration.
