A sheriff’s deputy from Texas, Conner Martin, was seen climbing on top of an 18-year-old black teenager, Nekia Trigg, and mounting her on the ground.
Trigg could be heard screaming that she can’t breathe, invoking comparisons to the infamous incident of police brutality against George Floyd, a black American.
The teenage girl begged the policeman to get off her but he ignored her pleas.
It was alleged that the girl was displaying suicidal tendencies and the police officer was trying to stop her.
However, the girl’s family has since come out and refuted the claims that she was suicidal and that she posed no danger to herself and others, adding that the police officer was wrong to restrain the girl.
