Fort Worth, TX — A Fort Worth police officer’s actions against an innocent woman were so disturbing that it actually prompted the department to fire him. The 22-year-veteran of the force, Sgt. Kenneth Pierce was fired this week after body camera footage showed him hold an innocent woman by the hair and arm and demand his rookie partner taser her.



On Monday, a use of force review was completed which noted that Pierce’s conduct that August night was “absolutely unacceptable.”



According to police, the incident began when Pierce and the rookie officer were called to an apartment complex for assistance regarding a domestic disturbance. The subsequent interaction was captured on body camera footage and was discovered during a mandatory “use of force” review, according to the department.



Fort Worth Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald told reporters that Sgt. Pierce “impatient, initiated an unnecessary physical confrontation, and then ordered a rookie police officer to ‘Tase’ the woman.”



As the body camera footage shows, the rookie and Pierce confront the couple at a residence and demand that they turn around and face the wall. The woman in the video is entirely compliant and tells the officers that her baby is inside the home.



The officers then tell the woman to show them the 5-year-old girl who was inside the apartment. Posted By Ghost
