San Jose Police Department Acting Chief Paul Joseph emphasized that the public video did not fully capture the events, highlighting the officer's attempts to deescalate the situation before resorting to force. The arrested man had a warrant from Georgia for resisting arrest with violence and was taken to the Santa Clara County jail. The officer, who had been hospitalized, has since been released.

Mayor Matt Mahan expressed gratitude towards his security detail and the San Jose Police Department, praising the officer for their de-escalation efforts. Mahan's focus on creating a safer community was reiterated through his commitment to addressing the underlying causes of crime and supporting law enforcement.
