Sha’Teina Grady El and her husband were accused of not leaving the crime scene of a shooting, prompting an unidentified police officer to grab her and repeatedly punch her in the face before tackling her to the ground in Ypsilanti Township around midnight on Tuesday.
Original story:
A police officer was recorded on video beating an unarmed Black woman who appeared to be nonviolent until she was brutally accosted without justifiable provocation during the encounter Tuesday night in Michigan.
The police violence didn’t stop there as other officers joined the cop beating Sha’Teina Grady El and tackled her to the ground while another officer shot a Taser gun at her husband, Dan Grady El.
A protest against Floyd’s death in police custody was unfolding as Sha’Teina Grady El was being beaten and arrested by the still-unidentified Washtenaw County Sheriff’s police officer who apparently decided against using any of his law enforcement training to arrest the unarmed and nonviolent woman.
In those instances, angry protesters not wearing any personal protective equipment like masks yelling directly into the faces of police officers, who stood by idly and didn’t react with any hint of the same violence displayed by the officer who relentlessly punched Sha’Teina Grady El and slammed her to the ground.
