LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced this week that he will be investigating the leak of a video that appeared in a Los Angeles Times article showing a sheriff’s deputy kneeling on a handcuffed inmate’s head for three minutes.
“This is stolen property that was removed illegally from people who had some intent, criminal intent, and it'll be subject to investigation,” Villanueva said during an April 26 press conference.
