Attorney Benjamin Taylor, who represents the Bonner family, has since called for the officer to be fired and also accused him of inappropriately touching the student.

 This was very extreme, very excessive and there was no need for double pushes, jumping on top and multiple strikes,  Taylor said.  The city of Tempe would be very vindictive to try to charge her again after they see what this officer did,  Taylor said.

 If you look at the end of the video, there's some odd touching at the end of the video which is very concerning,  he said.  At the end you see his hand go on her buttocks which is very odd in this situation. 

Josh Logan, a former Chandler police officer, said that if the officer's account of the college student punching him is true, the use of force is likely justified.

 If you reach that level of active aggression, you're within policy to perform closed fist strikes to the face,  Logan told the outlet.

Still, Logan, founder of Guardian Training and Consulting, pointed to concerning aspects of the video, including the split-second moment she is thrown onto a bicycle.

 There's so many dangerous things on that bicycle that can cut and scrape. I have scars from cogwheels to chains and everything in between. It appears that she's trying to move her off the bike and that happens in a split second in a very chaotic scene, and then they take her into custody and go from there,  Logan said.

The Tempe Police Department told The Post an internal investigation into the incident is underway

Cops said in a separate statement to ABC15 that they are probing the incident and take  every allegation of officer misconduct seriously. 

 Consistent with our policies, this incident is currently under administrative review. The video of the incident, along with all other available evidence, will be carefully evaluated as part of that process,  the department told the outlet.
