Jasper, TX: Cops (White) Slam Woman (Black) to Ground For Unpaid Traffic Ticket

Texas Cops (White) Slam Woman (Black) to Ground For Unpaid Traffic Ticket
by Abby Zimet

Exactly 15 years after the infamous murder of James Byrd, a black man tied to a truck and dragged to his death by three white men, two police officers from Jasper, Texas have been fired after jail video captured them brutally assaulting Keyarika Diggles, 25; one, then both grabbed her by the hair, slammed her head into a counter and dragged her by the ankles into a cell. Diggles was there to pay a $100 traffic ticket.
