PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (AP) — Police officials in a small, predominantly black Texas college town are defending the decision to use a stun gun on a City Council member when he intervened as officers questioned his friends outside his apartment. Prairie View garnered attention this summer after a woman who was arrested following a routine traffic stop was found dead in jail. Police dashcam video of the traffic stop that led to her arrest shows her interaction with a state trooper quickly turned into a confrontation.
