Police Body Cam Video Of San Francisco BART Station Arrest

Newly-released police body cam video shows a Bay Area Rapid Transit passenger scuffling with BART officers during an arrest. The incident happened back in July when BART officers responded to reports that a passenger who was possibly armed tried to rob another passenger. Other witnesses disputed the report, saying the reporting party called police after some sort of diagreement with the passenger. Video of the violent arrest was released Wednesday by the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office. The passenger, Michael Smith, was acquitted last week of battery on an officer. He was not armed during the confrontation.
