Video filmed at a mall in Madison last week shows two Wisconsin police officers body slamming an 18-year-old girl to the ground, kicking and punching her and then tasering her while she screams in agony has provoked angry protests
The video filmed at a mall in Madison last week shows the two unnamed officers holding Genele Laird’s hands behind her back after detaining her at a mall where she was allegedly threatening employees. Officers wrestled her to the ground, kick her while doing so, before pinning her to the ground and tasering her several times.
Officers have claimed she was resisting arrest and had a knife in her purse, but the excessive force shown in the video has sparked outrage.
