CHICAGO -- A lawyer for a teen who was run over by a Chicago police SUV in Roseland nearly two years ago has released video of the incident and is asking the city to settle with the girl's family for $2.1 million.
"She is a girl who was captain of the basketball team, student council president, vocal, active ... She is very resilient," said attorney Robert Fakhouri."She doesn't want to be looked at as a victim ... she wants to rise above this."

While others dispersed, Astarte followed the order, the suit states.Astarte was on the ground when an officer jumped out of a police SUV nearby and the car began rolling backward down the block, running over Astarte with both the rear and front tires,"causing traumatic and severe permanent injuries," the suit states.
