Surveillance video of a police officer firing a Taser at a 14-year-old girl was released as part of evidence for a federal lawsuit filed against the officer and the city of Allentown. The video first shows Keshana Wilson, 14, walking towards a car on the street with two friends. The video then abruptly cuts to Allentown Police Officer Jason Ammary struggling with Wilson.
Before the incident, the school was "having problems" with students being "disorderly" at school dismissal. Attorney Richard J. Orloski has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the girl's mother claiming excessive force, but police was right to use the taser due to the "use-of-force continuum."
"The video then abruptly cuts to Allentown Police Officer Jason Ammary struggling with Wilson on the side of a parked car. Ammary appears to be shoving Wilson against the car. She then appears to push her left forearm against his face. Ammary then steps back and fires his Taser at Wilson’s groin, causing her to collapse to the ground. Several security officers then arrive. One can be seen leading a teen boy away in handcuffs.", note NBC Philadelphia.
According to the complaint, Orloski says that the portion of the video was redacted because a pair of surveillance cameras do not capture the entire scene. About 1 minute and 40 seconds is missing from the video, according to the lawsuit.
When the video continues, Ammary appears to be pinning and shoving Wilson against the car using his right forearm to her neck area. The girl's left arm comes across and her elbow appears to catch Ammary on the right side of his face.
