Police Brutality Akron officer accused of breaking schoolgirls arm

A mother is challenging the school assignment of an Akron police officer accused of fracturing her daughter's arm while physically restraining the eighth-grade girl. The incident was recorded on a security camera at Jennings middle school. The video shows Officer Jon Morgan rushing 13-year-old Tamika Williams at a doorway and forcing the student backward across a hall and against a locker. The officer then grabs the girl's left arm and spins her around, raising the arm up toward her right shoulder. At one point, the girl appears to be lifted by the officer several inches off the ground while other students mill through the hallway. Morgan appears to speak into the girl's ear before escorting her by the arm to an assistant principal's office. There is no sound to the video. The student, who has since turned 14, is not charged with resisting arrest or any other crime related to the Oct. 26 incident. She has since transferred to another Akron middle school. Morgan remains assigned to Jennings while an investigation into the incident enters its third month.
