The body camera video released of an officer-involved shooting of a man in police custody that attempted to escape from a New Mexico hospital, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The man had just been taken into police custody after allegedly crashing a stolen pickup truck into the front gates of a Farmington business. He was taken to the medical center to have his blood tested for drugs and alcohol.
The eight-minute video shows the officer realizing he is unable to handcuff the man to a wheelchair.
Since the shooting the hospital and police department has considered changing its policies on the use of restraint for patients in police custody.
