In the video, shared by The Miami Herald, Satchell is irate with officers challenging them, “If you want to pull me out of the car, or whatever, then whatever.”
The officer does indeed pull her out of the car, and Martel is seen kneeling on her neck and tasing her in her stomach.
“By filing these criminal charges today against former Miami Gardens officer Jordy Yanes Martel, we are saying that these actions are just plain wrong.”
Martel has been fired from his job as a Miami Gardens police officer and was also involved in a use-of-force arrest last year.
