UPDATE:
Tamiko of Topeka, KS, was stopped by a Topeka Police Officer for a traffic violation. She did not resist and complied with requests; still excessive force was used, resulting in a fractured skull, nose and severe eye injuries.
MBA is advocating for accountability and policy change. Use of force should not occur during administrative and minor traffic violations of non-violent citizens.
