Quote:Mesa officers rarely disciplined in excessive-force investigations, police data show
Quote:However, an analysis by The Arizona Republic finds it is rare for Mesa officers to face any discipline in excessive-force investigations.
Mesa has shelled out more than $1 million to settle legal claims that officers used excessive force in the past four years, but only 2 percent of 158 internal-affairs investigations into such allegations were substantiated since 2014.
Some Mesa leaders are demanding that officers be held more accountable.

“The community as a whole: white, black, Hispanic, believers, non-believers, everyone is tired of harsh policing,” said Andre Miller, a pastor with Mesa's New Beginnings Christian Church. “It’s affected every economic group. It’s affected every race in this city."
Mesa Police Chief Ramon Batista already has revised policy to prevent officers from striking people’s faces or heads unless a suspect is being combative. He also has sought to make it easier for the public to raise concerns over potential harsh treatment and improve the review process when claims surface.
