Breaion King, a 26-year-old African-American schoolteacher from Austin, Texas, was stopped in 2015 for a routine traffic violation – an encounter that escalated into a dramatic and violent arrest. Caught on police dashcams, the 108-pound Breaion (who had never been arrested before) is seen pulled from her parked car by the white arresting officer, repeatedly slammed to the ground, handcuffed, and placed into the back of the police car with the help of a second officer. En route to jail in a squad car, Breaion engages in a revealing conversation with the escorting officer about race and law enforcement in America. Footage from the disturbing incident is juxtaposed with scenes from Breaion's everyday life as a schoolteacher and dancer, offering a fuller portrait of the woman who now struggles to make sense of her clash with law enforcement.
