Video Shows North Texas deputy pinning Black teen girl to the ground
“No, I wasn’t,” Trigg replied.
The family alleges during the encounter, Trigg was able to call her brother to tell him what was going on. While Trigg tries to pull away from the deputy, his body camera falls, and a struggle between the two pair ensues. When the family arrives at the scene, Trigg’s mother asks the deputy to stop.
“You can get up. You don’t have to do her like this,” a woman is heard telling the officer in the video.
The teen has rolled over and handcuffed. Once police take Trigg to a patrol car, an altercation begans between Martin and Ray, resulting in her arrest. She was charged with assault on a public servant and interference with public duties and is now been released on bond. Trigg was transported to a mental health facility for evaluation the Dallas Morning News reported.
Trigg’s sister posted the video and the footage immediately went viral. In a Facebook post, the Sheriff’s Office says the number of calls coming in about the incident was “unmanageable.”
The department opened a internal investigation. The family lawyer, Kim T. Cole says they want the department “examine their policies and to file charges against this officer.”
Trigg was “simply trying to get home,” she added. “I literally was in disbelief when I saw that police officer,” Ray said per the News.
Teronica Williams, Ray’s cousin, said the officer could have handled the situation better.
“Of course, me and our other family members are hurt this happened to her because we know what type of person she is,” she told the Dallas Morning News. “It takes one person to watch this video and devalue both her and Kia’s character and have the world thinking they deserve this and that — and that’s not fair.”
