Footage of a Kansas City officer kneeling on the back of a pregnant Black woman sparks ongoing protest


The footage shows an officer kneeling on the back of a pregnant woman during an arrest after a gathering at a gas station. When officers arrived minutes later, the owner told officers that "he wanted everyone off the property who wasn't buying anything," according to the statement. The woman arrested is 25-year-old Deja Stallings, who is nine months pregnant, her attorney, Stacy Shaw, told CNN. "The question is only why this officer body slammed a pregnant woman and put his knee and her back," Shaw said. She went to the hospital twice, once immediately after her arrest, Shaw said, but the baby appears to be uninjured by the incident.
