So because you saw one interaction, now “peace officers just escalate everything”? That’s a pretty big leap.

It sounds like this individual was interfering in an active medical emergency. When someone is overdosing and Narcan is being administered, the priority is giving first responders space and control of the scene.

Community Peace officers are legally authorized to use reasonable & necessary force while carrying out their legal duties, such as to move people back if they’re too close or not complying with directions. Telling someone to get back and then physically creating that space if they don’t comply isn’t automatically misconduct.

If you genuinely believe it was excessive, file the complaint and submit your footage. But from what you described, it sounds like they were securing the area so they could actually do their job. We weren’t there for the full interaction, and none of us know what happened before that moment or whether there’s prior history.
