A video posted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows a police officer body-slamming a woman on the first night of protests in Atlanta, according to the woman's attorney
The woman, identified as Amber Jackson, suffered a broken clavicle and cannot work as a dental hygienist because of the injury, her lawyer Mawuli Davis said in a news release.The video, taken on May 29 by the AJC, shows a woman pull away from an officer who then grabs her from behind and slams her to the ground. The camera shifts so the impact occurs just out of frame. A woman is heard screaming in the background.
Jackson echoed that account Friday, adding,"I have never been arrested, anything of that matter.""Today I stand in pain for all of the victims of police brutality," Jackson said. Her fiance, Andre Williams, the grandson of the civil rights leader Hosea Williams, said they had gone to Lenox to participate in a peaceful demonstration.
