Body-cam footage released to the Arizona Daily Star of the Feb. 16 rally appears to show an officer pushing a slight, older woman to the ground. As another woman bends to help her up, an officer sprays pepper spray in her face.

Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus said the department was investigating the incident, but he told KVOA-TV the weekend after the protest that he believes officers "by and large" handled the situation well.
