MTO News has obtained a very disturbing and graphic video, showing a Gwinnett County police officer brutalizing a Black woman, and then tasing the woman. The officer is being called a ‘thug’ all over social media.
The incident is still unfolding, and MTO News is working hard to determine all the facts. But according to social media reports, neighbors off a Black family from Atlanta, Georgia called police on Black women sitting on their porch and talking.
The neighbors claimed that the woman were “talking too loud,” according to people on Twitter claiming to have inside information on the incident.
The social media reports claim that an aggressive officer arrived on the scene, and asked the women to keep the noise down. One of the women in the group reportedly told the officer that she “knew her rights” and asked the officer to leave their property – and that’s where things went left.
That’s where the video kicks in. In the video, the officer appears to be trying to get tha woman to leave, but she refuses claiming she is on “her property.”
The officer then lunges towards the woman and manhandles her, and claims that she’s under arrest – even though it’s not clear what law she broke.
He then pulls out his taser, and stuns the woman multiple times. The video is horrific, and has since gone viral.
MTO News reached out to the Gwinnett County police department for comment, and so far we have not received a response.
