RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. (KTXL) — The family of 14-year-old Jah gathered in the spot outside a 7-Eleven demanding responsibility from the Rancho Cordova police department after their officer, Brian Fowell, is captured on video pinning Jah to the ground and punching him, after busting the teen for having tobacco.
The family is asking for accountability for the officer’s actions.
“Accountability for using excessive force on a person that’s less than half your size. Accountability for repeatedly throwing punches at him when he’s yelling he’s 14 years old,” said Jah’s mother.
New Rancho Cordova Police Chief Kate Adams addressed the video Wednesday.

“The family is asking for accountability...”
That’s all? They aren’t asking for $10 million?
That is 90% of the problem.
I’ll be you anything a ‘nice settlement’ is the main motivator. If they just wanted that cop punished, the case wouldn’t be so publicized.
By the way, DID that kid have cigarettes, or not?
Beating the crap out of him is not appropriate, but early smoking needs to be talked about at home, ‘nice settlement’ or not.
I don’t care if the kid is a rastafarian or whatever; he is still the victim of Fowell play.
Was ready to take the cop’s side. Have some vicious 14 years olds in the past. But the video looks like there’s a great lawsuit for the family.
What, a woman can’t be a police officer?
Some of them are tougher than the men.
Where is the so called victim’s dad on his son’s personal responsibility?
What's Amish about rebellion? Usually an angry Amish kid yells "Thou Suck" when he's mad.
Anyway, I'll bet you're analysis is right on the money.
“Some of them are tougher than the men.”
Some aren’t. What’s your point?
I see you are still doing the work of your ignorant slut princess.
Kid has come out and said he was in the wrong.
BLM must be ‘sheltering in place’ that part of town.
No riots so far.
No I am making sure that cops are held accountable for their actions. They work for the people not the other way around
If I posted what I thought of your post, I would get banned forever.
Who appointed all you effing KARENS that need to control others as government demons of enforcement?
WHO EFFING CARES if the punk had smokes? Why is that in any way relevant? Who appointed you another anti-smoking NAZI? Drango, is that you?
Was the cop out-of-line or not? THAT is the ONLY relevant question here. FCOL, quit with the statism!
No, you are foaming at the mouth at a 15 second clip and race baiting from your princess slut.
The body cam footage is going to be released, it almost always is in these situations.
I bet it has something like this: Officer: “Kid come over here and talk to me.”
Feral: “Hey nigga who u disrepktin....”
Officer: “You have a cigar, you are under age you can’t have that.”
Feral: “No one tells me what ta duz.”
Officer: “You are under arrest put your hands behind your back.”
Feral: “Shut up honky cracka I don’t play that.”
Feral then swings at officer.
Don W, I know you’re serious and sincere, but the fury of your comments made me laugh. First time I’ve been called a “Karen”..
Tis true. I like my Rule Books of approved behavior, and sometimes, I’m one of those Nattering Nabobs of Negativism that Spiro Agnew spoke of in 1968.
Why? Because “Lee Knows what’s best for us all”..It’s settled science! //
“Kid has come out and said he was in the wrong.”
Where’d you see that?
I am genuinely gratified to see that someone can be truly content in their superiority.
God Bless.
