‘I Can’t Breathe’: Video shows white policeman laying on top of crying black girl

“A video posted yesterday evening on Instagram shows a white police officer laying on top of a crying Black girl as she vomits and says, "I can't breathe," through labored breaths. Someone contacted the Kaufman County, Texas sheriff's department to report that 18-year-old Nekia Trigg was jumping in front of cars in traffic. Trigg is a resident of Forney, Texas. When the seven-minute video begins, an officer, identified as Kaufman County Deputy Conner Martin, is laying on top of Trigg as women around them scream.”

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet on here and I'm not sure what else to do. The Instagram post was taken down but the video has spread to Twitter. Officers arrested her mother for asking to loosen her daughter's handcuffs, and Martin was reportedly not wearing his bodycam properly as well.

Please PLEASE fucking share. This monster has used his badge to abuse this girl and borderline sexually assault her and was only placed on leave.
