Footage of a violent arrest last week that has since gone viral on social media shows a police officer brutally body slamming a 17-year-old girl who was reportedly handcuffed.
The May 21 incident occurred in the parking lot of the San Bernardino Food4Less grocery at around 2 p.m., according to Najee Ali, a spokesperson for the family who spoke at a Sunday press conference outside the San Bernardino Police Department.
Police said they were called to the area on reports of a person trespassing and someone actively trying to fight other people inside the Food4Less.
Cellphone video captured the moment the teen, standing face first against the police cruiser, was lifted off her feet and viciously slammed to the ground by the officer.
The young Black girl, a San Bernardino resident who has only been identified as Erin, suffered several injuries during the incident and required immediate medical treatment for a dislocated wrist and cuts to her chin and face that required stitches.
“He should not even have had his hands on her, but he picked up my child like she was a ragdoll and slammed her to the ground,” Erin’s father, Christopher Crowser, said. “I want justice.”
In the cellphone footage, another officer standing in front of the officer who slammed the teen to the ground is seen releasing his metal baton as the person filming appears to try and get a better view of the girl while she’s on the ground.
As for the 17-year-old herself, she says the violence has traumatized her.
“Since that day, I’ve been in a lot of pain and I’m scared to go to sleep,” she explained. “If I walk outside, even just taking out the trash, I’m scared because I don’t know what’s going to happen to me.”
In a statement by San Bernardino Police Department officials, the officer had only been able to handcuff one of Erin’s hands when she reportedly began to pull away and walk off, and that’s when the officer used the takedown maneuver.
Erin’s family believes the entire situation was mishandled, and they are calling on State Attorney General Rob Bonta to lead a thorough investigation into the incident.
“It’s not right,” Erin’s grandfather, Michael Phillips, said. “I don’t blame all the police. I just want that one that felt compelled to slam my granddaughter.”
An attorney representing the family told KTLA that they intend to file a lawsuit against the police department.
Classic case of the dindu nuffins.

He most definitely should have had his hands on her. Your lawyer somehow managed to get you to act like a human being in front of a camera, now try it in real life.
>>1408172Which one is the dindu nuffin? The teenager or the cop using violence uncalled for in the situation?
>>1408232Watch the video retard. She was literally fighting and arguing him the entire stop
>>1408240I refuse to watch the whole video
>>1408240That isn't an excuse to bodyslam a 17 year old girl.
>>1408250>breaks her wrist and beats her with a baton for being 17 and blackGo give the cops a sloppy toppy on another board
>>1408254Beating them is the way way to control blacks. Ask a black parent.
itt esl shills larp as white americans
>>1408255Cops are supposed to deescalate and not use professional wrestling moves on teenage girls.
>>1408250>Fighting a cop isn't a reason to be subdued.They're absolutely right though
Hell, fight a cop, threaten to hang his boss, ignore orders, get shot in the face - Trump's admitted this sort of behavior deserves 5 million dollars
>>1408255Shit, ask a bartender. I worked at a nightclub and the only time that they would shut the fuck up and show some respect is if you cuss them out.
>>1408257You can't de-escalate a mob by yourself. The reason only one person was arrested is because he needed to show that there are consequences for the actions they were taking and that if more people kept doing it they would also be arrested. When your police officer is surrounded by people acting crazy he doesn't have time to play nice when you're trying to escape from him. He also doesn't know what it is you're trying to do, for all he knows you're going to go for his gun. He has to assume the worst to prepare for it. And he has learned this time and time again with adults that act like this. I highly doubt he even recognized that she was 17. Even though she was, it doesn't change anything. He had to do what he had to do. You don't understand because you don't take the time to. That's the same reason you don't understand the 21 foot rule.
>>1408257What was the basis for her instigating the incident? Was she rational at the time? How do you deescalate an irrational person if not?
Do you believe her initial objections were correct? What was her motivation?
>>1408257Teenage girls love it when you use pro wrestling moves on them, virgin.
>>1408261Where is the mob in the OP pic?
>>1408263It's a minor acting like a minor. Cops are supposed to be trained to use everything but violence.
>>1408266>It's a minor acting like a minor. Cops are supposed to be trained to use everything but violence.Uh, no. It was not a minor acting like a minor. A normal minor would be terrified unless trained to rebuke authority.
What was her motivation for instigating?
>>1408271Generally, yes unless there was some basis for for a reaction. What was her motivation again?
>>1408172Your brane don't do nuffin
Fortunately there's plenty of precedent on the books saying you can't actually just fucking shoulder throw someone in handcuffs which means they won't get qualified immunity. Girl's at least gonna make bank.
>>1408279...being fucking terrified? Have you never seen a child since you were one?
I’m sure there was a less violent way of taking her to the ground rather than doing throw that took her off her feet. The cop could have just kicked the back of her knees to force her to the ground while holding her to prevent injury with the ground
>>1408279>What was her motivation again?Being Black. This also happens on occasion with White folks and White society just shrugs their shoulders and goes about their day, the correct philosophy simply being that if you don't want your ass beat, don't fight with cops.
>>1408441This shitty take brought to you by the same retarded shills who cheered for Ashley Babbit getting 5 million dollars for refusing to listen to the police and getting shot in the face
the shill is larping as a white man again
>>1408254>for being 17 and blackfalse. she was already handcuffed and was still standing up to the cop
she asked for it
>>1408666Performing wrestling tricks on an underage girl is not a good look
>>1408152 (OP)Ironically the cop gave her a better punishment than the Courts. Hope she learned her lesson.
>blackAh, hell.. probably not. :-(
