DC cop allegedly assaults youth mentor
The video appears yet again to be another disheartening tale when it comes to fears that many people have about the police and how they police its communities.
In the 45-second clip, the woman, who many thought was a teenager, has been identified as 32-year-old “Shadon”.
The video appears to show Shadon being pinned against a patrol SUV by a white DC cop who also has her lifted up in the air with her feet off of the ground and her hands behind her back. As he forcefully restrains her, the officer is heard asking the woman her age before later asking her if she “wants to go.”
As the video continues, the woman is later seen speaking to a female police officer on the scene after the original officer lets her out of his grip.
The woman can be heard telling the officers that she works in the area as a mentor for young girls. “I take care of these little girls,” she says while talking with the officers following the incident. “I work right there.”
In a second video from same Twitter user who shared the original footage, the woman in the video gives her account of what happened prior to the confrontation.
She says her name is Shadon and reveals that she is a school teacher in D.C. “It’s harassment. Either way you look at it, it’s harassment,” she said. “I’m a school teacher and I work out here and I help these little girls all day, every day. So there’s no reason to assume that somebody out here doing the wrong thing and most definitely when I’m here in uniform. Are you serious?”
So this just happened. I’m TIRED. he literally hopped out and did this immediately to her. No CONVO. Dawg. WTF pic.twitter.com/tf1HpF78up
