Story summary

On July 19, Eryn Bonner, an Arizona State University senior and member of the ASU Stunt Team, was arrested in Tempe after intervening during another individual's arrest. A viral video shows Bonner being shoved to the ground and restrained on top of a bicycle by police officers. The Tempe Police Department claims that Bonner punched an officer multiple times before she was subdued, while her lawyer states that new body cam footage reveals the use of excessive force and suggests potential misconduct. Bonner has been charged with two misdemeanors: disorderly conduct and hindering or interfering with police. Her family expressed shock at the charges given the violent nature of her treatment by officers. The Tempe Police Department is conducting an internal investigation, but there is significant public scrutiny over the use of force during the incident.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
