why we say BLM
happened in 2017 but trial just beginning this week
A disturbing video showing a Calgary police officer slamming a handcuffed woman into the ground face-first has been released by a judge at the constable's trial.
Const. Alex Dunn is on trial on a charge of assault causing bodily harm stemming from an arrest in 2017.
Dalia Kafi, who is Black and was 26 years old at the time, had been arrested on the accusation she breached a court-ordered curfew. She was at the CPS arrest processing unit when she was taken to the ground in what one 30-year officer says was the "worst use of force" he'd ever seen.
Kafi, whose head can be seen bouncing off the concrete floor, needed surgery for a broken nose and stitches in her lip.
On Monday, provincial court Judge Michelle Christopher agreed to release the video exhibit to members of the media, including CBC News.
