Police dash camera captures video footage of an Austin (Texas) police officer (Bryan Richter) violently arresting a female elementary school teacher (Breaion King) during a traffic stop. The cop informs the woman that he is stopping her for speeding. Watch what happens…
Austin, Tex., police officers face an investigation after disturbing videos showed a violent arrest and comments afterward by one officer saying blacks have “violent tendencies.”
A dashcam video published Thursday by the Austin American-Statesman showed Officer Bryan Richter, who is white, slamming Breaion King, who is black, to the ground twice during the June 2015 speeding stop. Separate footage that also surfaced Thursday revealed the conversation about race between King and another white officer, Patrick Spradlin.
“Why are so many people afraid of black people?” Spradlin asked King.
“That’s what I want to figure out because I’m not a bad black person,” she replied.
“I can give you a really good idea why it might be that way: violent tendencies,” Spradlin said.
Prosecutors cleared King, a 26-year-old elementary teacher, of a resisting arrest charge after viewing the video of the June 15, 2015 arrest. The 112-pound woman told the local newspaper she has hired lawyers as she considers a suit against the department.
“I’ve become fearful to live my life,” King said. “I would rather stay home. I’ve become afraid of the people who are supposed to protect me and take care of me.”
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo announced Thursday that he has removed both Richter and Spradlin from the streets as the department conducts an internal review. The probe will include both a criminal investigation and an administrative review into how Richter’s supervisors arrived at the decision to give him the lowest level of discipline: counseling and training.
The chief said he didn’t know of Spradlin’s comments, which he called racist, until local media began inquiring about it. He said at a press conference that he wants to apologize to King, who didn’t file a formal complaint with the department after the arrest.
“After reviewing both videos, I and our leadership team were highly disturbed and disappointed in both the way Ms. King was approached and handled and in the mindset that we saw on display in those videos,” Acevedo told the Statesman. “But there is another piece, which has caused concerns as to our review process and the systems we have in place.”
The video of the arrest in a parking lot started with Richter asking King to get back inside her white Nissan Versa. He told her he had pulled her over for speeding. (CLICK LINK BELOW TO READ ENTIRE ARTICLE!)
