A video of a Utah County sheriff's deputy throwing a 27-year-old woman face-first to the floor during a public meeting about an artificial intelligence data centre has drawn more than a million views and intense criticism online, with commenters demanding accountability and questioning the officer's use of force.
The woman, 27-year-old Aspen Azalea, was removed from a Utah County Planning Commission meeting in Provo on 20 October after protesting against proposed data centre regulations.
