A police officer in New York state is on administrative leave after a video showed him punching a woman in the face after she tried to bite him while under arrest in Walmart.
Multiple cameras captured the violent incident inside the East Syracuse Walmart on July 4.
The Dewitt Police Department said 22-year-old Tajenik Byrd pepper-sprayed several people, including children, when a fight broke out in the store. It's unclear what led to the altercation.
During the confrontation, a woman in a black shirt, identified as 26-year-old Tyreana Edmonds, began arguing with store employees and allegedly hit them in the face.
When Dewitt police officers Rory Spain and Corey Buyck arrived at the scene, a man quickly directed them to the fight. Body camera video shows Spain handcuffing Edmonds while Buyck tries to take Byrd into custody.
Police said Byrd resisted arrest, knocking Buyck's body camera to the ground. The camera goes dark, but Walmart's surveillance video captured the rest of the struggle. Byrd falls to the ground as Buyck tries again to handcuff her and places his body weight on her hips and legs.
Meanwhile, a cellphone video from a bystander shows Edmonds trying to bite officer Spain's arm before he punches her in the face.
Both women were eventually taken into custody. Edmonds is facing multiple charges, including assault and resisting arrest. Byrd was charged with child endangerment, assault, and resisting arrest.
Spain was the only officer placed on leave and will stay off the force until the investigation is complete.

Tajenik and Tyreana...
I didn’t have to read any further.
Every store is thier own profit center and local store prices include the cost due to damaged and stolen merchandise. Shop at a white area Walmart, the prices are cheaper.
the plural of ghettopotomus would be ghettopotomi in this instance
True. During my LEO career I was bitten by a drunk woman. It became infected and it took heavy antibiotics for me to shake it.
“In my defense your honor, she still has all of her teeth.”
Once as deputy, I helped break up a fight in the women’s cell block. Swore to myself that day I would never try to break up women fighting or fight fair with a woman. Go in with anything that will knock the “SH**” out of them, put them down and keep them there. You can guess the persuasion.
This is the sort of Post that I wish that I had thought of making.
I found it to be quite funny.
“Gladstone!”
“Disraeli!”
Smack!
Should’ve sent the social worker swat team in.
I will do the same to any feral animal that tries to bite me.
I would think the rules would be more lenient for handling feral animals.
Legit.
Was she tested for rabies?
Human garbage.
best post of the day
LOL!
She could have even had HIV.
If the world was fair on her next arrest she would have to gum the cops arm
Not me. I’d be on my way to prison.
Tajenik and Tyreana? Let me guess they were making fun of each other’s names and it escalated into a fight.
He did the right thing.
