Family Says 14-Year-Old Girl Suffered Brain, Face & Neck Trauma After Texas Police Punched Her In The Face!

When police responded to a fight that erupted at a northeast side quinceañera Saturday, April Johnson says she saw a San Antonio Police Department officer punch her 14-year-old daughter so hard that when a doctor examined her two days later she was diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury and trauma to her face and neck muscles.

A grainy video clip of the incident, which appears to show the officer striking the girl, spread across social media this past weekend, angering local police reform activists who call it a clear-cut case of police brutality and unnecessary use of force. Artessia House, an attorney representing the family who says she plans to file a federal civil rights lawsuit against the department and the officer involved, told the Current on Wednesday, "That officer MMA-style punched this girl as if she was a grown man."
