Hundreds Of Sacramento Police Conduct Complaints Found To Be True

Sacramento police officers are under scrutiny following a new audit uncovering multiple civil rights violations.

The details were revealed at Tuesday night's Sacramento City Council meeting. Police bodycam video shows officers handcuffing a 10-year-old girl who auditors say posed no threat to officers.

"We need to point out things that we can get better at," said Latesha Watson, the director of the Sacramento Office of Public Safety Accountability.

Watson's office released the investigation of more than 100 complaints filed against Sacramento police officers over a two-year period. The report shows that in 35% of those cases, people's constitutional rights were violated.

"As an oversight entity, we represent the public," she said.
