A now-viral Facebook video showing a Lancaster, Pennsylvania police officer using a Taser
on a nonviolent black man who was attempting to cooperate with the officers has prompted
a city investigation.
Lancaster Online identified the man as 27-year-old Sean Williams.
The video shows Williams sitting on the curb as male officer Philip Bernot asks him to
put his legs straight out in front of him.
Moments afterward, a female officer named Shannon Mazzante tells Williams to cross his
legs.
As Williams begins to comply, Bernot repeats his order for him to have his legs out straight.
Williams remains calm and seated, but Bernot soon tases Williams's back.
Mazzante, who was first on the scene, was responding to a disturbance call, and Bernot
arrived soon afterwards to assist, per The Root.
A police statement released after the incident alleges that Williams failed to follow instructions
to "stick his legs out in front of him and to cross his ankles," a "measure of control
to insure that if someone is going to flee or offer physical resistance, they will have
to move their legs under them to do so."
Williams was arrested on unrelated charges after officers found an outstanding warrant
for possession of a controlled substance and public drunkenness.
He was arraigned and released on an unsecured $5,000 bond.
Lancaster Mayor Danene Sorace spoke about the incident in a Facebook video posted
on Thursday.
