2 Kansas City officers charged with assaulting transgender woman
Two police officers in Kansas City, Missouri, have been charged with misdemeanor assault after video surfaced of a transgender woman's head being slammed on the ground during an arrest last year.
She said the case, which includes cellphone video from a motorist who happened upon the May 24 confrontation, had to go to a grand jury because the Kansas City Police Department did not submit a"probable cause statement" that could have triggered standard prosecution. Breona or Briya Hill's face appears cut and bruised following an alleged altercation with two police officers outside a Kansas City, Missouri, beauty supply store on May 24, 2019.
Brad Lemon, president of the union, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #99, said the woman, identified by prosecutors as Breona or Briya Hill, slammed her own head against the ground.
