A Texas police officer has been put on leave after video emerged of him wrestling an African-American teenage girl to the ground, pulling her hair and pulling his gun on another teen. The officer was helping respond to neighbors’ complaints about a disturbance at a party the teens were attending at a local pool. Several African-American teens in attendance say a dispute only broke out after local white residents voiced anger at their presence. The video appears to show the officers singling out the African-American teens.
