Use-of-force experts have determined a Wauwatosa police officer was justified when he punched a teenager in the parking lot outside the Mayfair Mall. The 17-year-old was arrested and cited for disorderly conduct, battery and resisting an officer. Video of the confrontation was circulated on social media, leading to allegations the officer had acted inappropriately. The release of surveillance video showed the incident from a different point of view. Police say the teenager apologized for his actions while he was at the police station, saying he understood why force was used. He wasn’t injured and didn’t require medical treatment.
