A police officer in Washington, D.C. was caught on video (below) on August 15 holding a small black woman off the ground and up against a squad auto, fueling outrage on social media.
“It was harassment and I asked for the police officer’s badge – they wouldn’t give me no names, no numbers or nothing – so I left – I never knew this was being recorded”, she recalled.
The officer would eventually let the girl down onto the ground before he and another officer continue to talk to her. ‘I’m exhausted. he literally hopped out and did this immediately to her.
The video does not show what happened before the officer stopped the woman.
Apologetic: A second video sees the cops looking more apologetic and picking up her possessions.
Neither the male officer, nor the female officer accompanying him were identified in the video posted Monday by Twitter user MacAndCheeks.
“It’s harassment. Either way you look at it, it’s harassment”, she said.
Shadon later told Fox 5 that she and others at the bus stop were standing up to a man who was harassing another woman when the police intervened.
