“They just grabbed me by my hand, and they were trying to get me to walk because I wouldn’t walk. I wouldn’t get in the vehicle, so they kicked me in the back of the leg, and they threw me in the vehicle.”
Tom, 38, said it was a female officer who allegedly kicked her, causing her immense pain. She said she asked to be taken to the hospital.
