Justice is Served for Police Brutality Victim Keyarika Diggles

Keyarika Diggles, yet another police brutality victim, wins a civil rights lawsuit and receives a settlement of $75,000. Shockingly enough, the whole incident occurred in May, over an unpaid traffic ticket of $150. The Officers Cunningham and Grissom came to her home and arrested her for not paying for the ticket. While she was on the phone with her mother, she is dragged on the floor and later pushed and tackled to the ground. This kind of treatment is unnecessary and excessive. Although the Officers were fired after the incident, they have not yet been charged with anything criminal. This kind of abuse of power happens all the time and usually, not much is done as far as criminal charges or settlements. Finally, there is some form of punishment for this abuse and excessive force. Now all we can hope for is for criminal charges and relief for other victims of police brutality.
