Police officers face an investigation after videos showed a violent arrest and comments afterward by one officer saying blacks have “violent tendencies.†A dashcam video published Thursday showed Officer Bryan Richter slamming Breaion King to the ground twice during the June 2015 speeding stop. Separate footage that also surfaced Thursday revealed the conversation about race between King and another white officer, Patrick Spradlin. “Why are so many people afraid of black people?” Spradlin asked King. “That’s what I want to figure out because I’m not a bad black person,†she replied.
“I can give you a really good idea why it might be that way: violent tendencies,” Spradlin said. Prosecutors cleared King, a 26-year-old elementary teacher, of a resisting arrest charge after viewing the video of the June 15, 2015 arrest. The 112-pound woman told the local newspaper she has hired lawyers as she considers a suit against the department. “I’ve become fearful to live my life,†King said. “I would rather stay home. I’ve become afraid of the people who are supposed to protect me and take care of me.â€
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo announced at a press conference Thursday that he has removed both Richter and Spradlin from the streets as the department conducts an internal review. The probe will include both a criminal investigation and an administrative review into how Richter’s supervisors arrived at the decision to give him the lowest level of discipline: counseling and training, he noted. The chief said he didn’t know of Spradlin’s comments, which he called racist, until local media began inquiring about it.
“After reviewing both videos, I and our leadership team were highly disturbed and disappointed in both the way Ms. King was approached and handled and in the mindset that we saw on display in those videos,†Acevedo told the Statesman. “But there is another piece, which has caused concerns as to our review process and the systems we have in place.â€

8:35 she won't even be in that back seat having a conversation with that cop if she had just listened to him
2:58. At this point you know they're beating her ass off camera. That means blows to the ribs and stomach.🤣
Why my hands so high?! Cuz you been resisting the rest for 2 minutes!!!!!!!!!
What does she weigh 110 soaking wet? This can't this guy can't control his suspect? In Belgium if he was a cop in Belgium would beat him with sticks and through pickles at him!!!!!!!
1:50 I think this it's safe to say here at this point it's getting sexual.
Is that suspect a woman or a man because damn that sounds like a woman who's going on these comments Emma you're quitting your people real good girl
That officer has a short fuse 😳 I get that she should’ve complied but he could’ve handled it better
many elements here.
do not understand – based on the vid – what is means for this female to be cleared of resisting arrest.
People need to listen to commands when pulled over. Police officers want to feel safe, too!
Why would that officer entertain a conversation with a person who is being arrested telling her she is violent because she is black. What the fuck.
People need to comply to police orders always!!!
She has an eloquent dialog with the officer. Quite unexpected.
"I need a black police." It's a shame so many children have to depend on people like this for an education.
Low IQ people are so god damn dumb. What is so complicated about following simple directions?
She said she need a black police s*** he's going to be worse than the white police
Got what she deserved. I cant believe she is a teacher. And of course, being black, she has to play the race card.
What the cop did was right in my opinion. but im the kinda guy that if someone tells me "can you hurry up" ooooh boy you bet your ass im taking a long ass time now.
because she black?u fucking rasists/im white
This is what's pissing people off.
His problem was she didn't shut the door. Blown fuse big-time along with lawsuits.
Now this is a asshole short fused cop who shouldn't be a cop.
"Why are my hands so high" 😆 🤣
I like how people clearly act out and when they get fucked up they act like cops did wrong.
Now, this dude was a little aggressive but I don’t think he was wrong to use force.
so all i have to do is be an asshole that doesnt listen, scream and lie like a bratty spoiled child and I can sue for half a million and get an hbo special about what kind of hero i am? stfu gtfoh LMAO how is she a school teacher acting like a shitty lil kid, pathetic. " I NEED A BLACK POLICE" lol Ive heard requesting a woman officer, but smh, shes weird af
Step 1 to not getting in this situation, do what the officer tells you too. “Get a black officerâ€, hmm yes the black officer will treat you differently than a white officer oh did I mention there all officers so it makes no difference. Who woulda thought
This woman is a teacher? Good lord.
she is a fkn douchebag, just watched TRAFFIC STOP on hbo and cant believe how childish and dramatic she is. how tf does she teach kids when she acts worse than one?
I'm glad she won the $425,000 settlement, that's one racist cop
Hope the cop gets what he gets cause she didn't do anything wrong…..so duck that cop…..sorry not sorry
