Each officer grabbed a teen. The Black teen was taken to the ground while the white teen was pulled to a couch, where he remained seated as both officers focused on the Black teen on the ground. “The high school boy then proceeded to put his hands on my son, which resulted in the fight,” she said. “They said they’ll be in contact with me because there was a table broken,” the woman said. “Once I watched the video, I saw the table didn’t get broken until the cops tackled my son, so that wasn’t his fault.”
