PHOENIX — Two Arizona police officers are under national scrutiny after newly released body camera footage showed them repeatedly punching and shocking a deaf Black man with a Taser nearly two months ago.

Tyron McAlpin, 34, was punched and shocked with a Taser by Phoenix police officers Benjamin Harris and Kyle Sue in August, newly released video showed. McAlpin has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest.

Body camera footage of the Aug. 19 arrest outside a Circle K was released on Monday and has since drawn condemnations from civil rights groups such as the Arizona State Conference NAACP, which called for the officers to be placed on administrative leave until a full probe is conducted.

"Tyron was not a suspect in an actual crime, he had not done anything wrong, and he also has communication challenges," said Arizona NAACP Vice President Andre Miller. The Phoenix Police Department said the incident is the subject of an ongoing investigation and was assigned to the Professional Standards Bureau on Aug. 30.

The newly released video comes four months after the U.S. Justice Department released a scathing report that said Pheonix police officers violated people's civil and constitutional rights. The DOJ concluded officers used unlawful force, disproportionately targeted people of color, and routinely violated the rights of protesters, unhoused people, and people experiencing mental health crises.
