"Officials are investigating an Austin police officer’s violent arrest of an African-American elementary school teacher who was twice thrown to the ground during a traffic stop for speeding and comments by a second officer who told her police are sometimes wary of blacks because of their “violent tendencies.”
Video from the previously unreported June 2015 incident was obtained by the American-Statesman and KVUE-TV this week. The video shows the traffic stop escalating rapidly in the seven seconds from when officer Bryan Richter, who is white, first gives a command to 26-year-old Breaion King to close her car door to when he forcibly removes her from the driver’s seat, pulls her across a vacant parking space and hurls her to the asphalt."
Violent arrest of teacher caught on video; officers face...
It's quite a disturbing video - from the dashcam:
It was just as disturbing to hear the conversation on racism that went on between another officer and the woman as she sat in the back in handcuffs.
The police chief has publicly apologized to the woman.
