CCTV footage from Tacoma, WA shows a 15-year-old African American girl being grabbed by a police officer who throws the girl against a car, chokes her and grabs her by her hair. In the video, the girl Monique Tillman, is stopped by an off-duty officer while she was cycling through a shopping mall car park with her brother, Eric Branch. When Tillman starts to cycle away, the police officer grabs her off the bike and slams her face. Ms. Tillman is bringing legal action against the officer, the security company he was working for while off-duty, and the shopping mall.
