Matthew Zapata - Texas Police Brutality

Summary: Daily News released an article which covered the incident in DISD inn which a police officer had a physical confrontation with a 12 year old girl. Mariana was seen fighting with other students in the video until a police officer physically assaults her. He picks her up and slams her body on the ground. After the incident she was then taken to the hospital because of a clavicle fracture from the body slam. DISD has kept silent about the situation and only released one statement that is vague and doesn't directly talk about the confrontation that took place. 

Analysis: Reading this article makes me so sad knowing that girls, and people in general for that matter, are getting wrongly treated by the police because of the police's interpretation of their "power".
