| Quote: | A white Chicago police officer has been placed on desk duty as the Civilian Office of Police Accountability investigates a video that appears to show the officer in an altercation with a Black woman walking her dog.
In cellphone video recorded early Saturday morning at North Avenue Beach in the city's Lincoln Park neighborhood, a woman can be heard screaming for help as she struggles with a CPD officer.
The woman's attorney said the altercation began after the officer seen in the video allegedly asks the woman to leave the beach because it was closed. Following that order, the video shows an altercation between the two.
The woman's attorney said that other people were walking out on the beach, but feels she was targeted because of her race.
"For some reason, this officer decided to specifically interact, and then ultimately address and attack Ms. Brown," said Keenan Saulter, the woman's attorney.
Saulter identified the woman as Nikkita Brown and said she is traumatized from the encounter.
Her lawyer called the incident a brutal and unprovoked attack, saying that she was leaving the beach when the officer put his hands on her.
"She was always in the process of leaving," he said. " She was always walking out of the park." |
