BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) -- Baton Rouge Police Chief Thomas Morse released a statement Wednesday morning after a video started circulating online involving two officers helping a mother discipline her teen son. According to Morse, the more than five-year-old video stems from officers responding to a home found with gunshots in an apparent drive-by in September 2019. He said officers talked to an upset mother and questioned her 14-year-old son. Morse said the woman asked officers to help her discipline her son, holding him down on a bed while she hit him with a belt. The Baton Rouge Police Department Internal Affairs Division started an investigation after the incident was brought to their attention. Morse said the only complaint from the incident came from Ryan Thompson, an attorney who represents one of the shooting suspects in the case. A total of five suspects were arrested in connection to the shooting investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact BRPD's Internal Affairs Division or make a complaint through the police department's website.
