In a Sept. 14 Facebook post pinned to the top of the department's Facebook page, Police Chief Richard Allen wrote, "The Gary Police Department immediately began conducting an internal investigation reference the incident in our City where a citizen filmed officer's on a call for service."

"We appreciate the concern shown by the public and are diligently working towards an internal resolution. We do not condone the violation of any rights given to citizens in our GREAT nation," the post reads.
