|
|
| Quote: | Officials in Austin are investigating the violent arrest of a black elementary school teacher who was body-slammed by a white police officer during a traffic stop.
The investigation comes after the emergence of police video footage showing not only the June 2015 arrest but also a scene afterward, when
| Quote: | another white officer told the teacher that officers are wary of blacks because of their "violent tendencies" and "intimidating" appearance.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time. . . it is the black community that is being violent," the officer tells her in the video. "That's why a lot of white people are afraid. And I don't blame them." |
The footage, first reported Thursday by the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE, prompted an apology from police.
| Quote: | "My heart was sickened and saddened when I first learned of this incident," said Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, adding that the video was "disturbing."
"For those that think life is perfect for people of color, I want you to listen to that conversation and tell me we don't have social issues in this nation," Acevedo continued. "Issues of bias. Issues of racism. Issues of people being looked at different because of their color." |

Good (bleep) grief that body slam. That woman couldn't have weighed 100 pounds soaking wet. That cop either beats his wife or wants to but knows he can't so he takes out his pent up aggression on "suspects." There was absolutely no reason to manhandle her like that.

Violent guy with an inferiority complex. Probably racist too. They are some of the worst human beings. It's scary when they have a gun and a police badge. It's just a matter of time until someone gets killed for no reason only because that guy created a situation that escalated out of control. |
