A southeast Texas town with a history of racial unrest on Monday fired two white police officers recently captured on video slamming a black woman's head into a countertop and wrestling her to the ground.
"The amount of force used was abominable," the woman's attorney, Cade Bernsen, told Yahoo News.
The incident was captured by security cameras at the Jasper, Texas, police headquarters.
Keyarika "Shea" Diggles, 25, was brought to the jail on May 5 for an unpaid fine, according to Bernsen. He said she was was on the phone with her mother trying to arrange to get the $100 owed when Officer Ricky Grissom cut off the call.
There's no audio on the video, but Diggles and Grissom were apparently arguing when Officer Ryan Cunningham comes in behind Diggles and attempts to handcuff her. When she appears to raise her hand, Cunningham grabs Diggles by the hair and slams her head into a countertop. The officers wrestle Diggles to the ground before dragging her by her ankles into a jail cell.
"She got her hair pulled out, broke a tooth, braces got knocked off ... it was brutal," Bernsen said.
Diggles was charged with resisting arrest for arguing with the officers, a charge dropped on Monday, according to Bernsen.

Man you know, it is messed up that she got handled like that

But seriously, it just not worth it sometimes to have an attitude or express an opinion. Now if it's some serious stuff, by all means feel free to martyr yourself, but black folks are getting done up over simple things like keeping your mouth shut.

Their behavior was ridiculous, especially since it seems that she was not an instigator as the cop comes over and ends her phone call. All over a $100 fine... I hope she sues the cop personally.
