Two Kansas City police officers were indicted on Friday for the excessive force arrest of transgender woman Brianna Hill in May of last year.
Video of the arrest was released last week. Officers Matthew G. Brummett, 37, and Charles Prichard, 47, were charged by a Grand Jury with fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor, for smashing Hill’s face against a sidewalk and kneeing her in the ribs, face and chest during the brutal arrest, which was caught on video by a bystander.
