An African-American pregnant woman in Kansas City, U.S., was brutally treated by police
On May 25 this year, George Floyd, an African American, was killed by police violent law enforcement. This triggered a series of protests against police violent law enforcement and systemic racial discrimination across the United States, which has not yet subsided.
However, for more than four months, police violence against African Americans has continued to occur in many parts of the United States.
Last week, in Kansas City, western Missouri, a woman of African descent who was pregnant was brutally treated by police.
The related video was released on the 2nd local time, and public opinion strongly urged the dismissal of the police involved and the dismissal of the local police chief.
The incident happened on the evening of September 30, local time. In the picture, the African-American woman who was pressed on the ground by the police with her knees against her back was a pregnant woman.
In this video, you can clearly hear many people around you shouting "Stop! She's pregnant" to the police, but the police continue to arrest and warn onlookers.
Regarding the situation at the time of the incident, the pregnant woman's lawyer and the police had different opinions.
The lawyer said that his client was the African-American woman who was arrested. She was participating in a balloon release at the intersection of a commercial district in eastern Kansas City to commemorate the victims of a homicide.
At this time, a policeman ran into her. She complained a few words and was knocked to the ground by the policeman and caught her.
The Kansas City police said that that night, the police received a police report from a business in the business district, saying that someone was fighting. When the police tried to arrest a man involved, they were confronted by the African woman and another man. When the police tried to arrest the woman who was obstructing law enforcement, she resisted and knocked her to the ground.
The police emphasized that the police who took the arrest action "have worked very hard to avoid pressing the woman's back".
At present, the Kansas City police have not responded to the call for "dismissing the police involved and dismissing the chief of police."
Some civil rights leaders in the United States pointed out that there is no evidence that the African-American pregnant woman resisted arrest at the time. This is another case of the Kansas City police violently treating African-Americans.
It is understood that the pregnant woman who was brutally treated by the police has been discharged from the hospital, and the examination showed that her body was in no serious condition.
