Video shows Chicago police officers punching and dragging a 16-year-old girl down the stairs
The incident happened on January 29 at the Marshall High School on the city's West Side, the lawsuit states, after the 16-year-old girl was asked to leave school because she had her cell phone out in class. Her father had been asked to come to the school to pick her up and witnessed part of the incident, according to the lawsuit.The video shows the student standing next to an officer before she turns to walk away. As she does so, one officer grabs her and moves her toward the stairs.
"The video shows that the girl did not assault them as the officers had previously said, the lawsuit states. It's unclear what took place before the actions shown in the video.After the incident, the girl was taken to a hospital for treatment, the lawsuit said, and was charged with"misdemeanor and felony crimes" -- charges that were later dropped.
