The video appears to contradict the officers statements that the student initiated the violent encounter.
Surveillance video released Thursday shows Chicago police officers push and drag a 16-year-old student down the stairs at a city high school before punching and tasing the girl.
In the video, Howard appears to speak to the two officers, Johnnie Pierre and Sherry Tripp. As she begins to walk away, Pierre grabs her and wrestles her down the stairs with Tripp following behind. About 20 seconds later, Pierre is captured dragging Howard by her wrist down the bottom of the stairs with Tripp on top of her.Pierre and Tripp then proceed to punch and step on her body while she lays on the ground, the video shows.
"Once again the city of Chicago is facing a federal civil rights lawsuit based on the unjustified and unconstitutional actions of two officers," Stroth said by phone."It’s a clear failure of the leadership of the city of Chicago, the Board of Education, and the Chicago Police Department when you have an unarmed 16-year-old girl without cause or provocation kicked, punched, beaten, thrown down stairs, and then tasered three times by the officers.
Both officers are no longer working at the school in Chicago's East Garfield Park neighborhood, according to the Sun-Times. They are currently assigned to the 11th district. One of the officers is currently on"injured in duty" status.
