Family says Winnfield Cops Battered Black Woman & Tased Her in Her Right Eye Causing Blindness, Broken Bones - Hospitalized for 3 Days after Calling Cops for a Ride
From [HERE] An alleged attack so bad that it has one family heartbroken and wondering what happened between their sister and police. These pictures tell a painful story.
"It hurts me so bad to see her laying up there like this," said sister to the victim, Tramika Coleman.
On Monday night, Coleman indicated that police attacked her sister leaving her with several broken bones, bloodied and badly bruised.
“I couldn't’t see, I was screaming, It felt like I was getting electrocuted," said victim Tanisha White.
White explained that she was at a friends house when she called Winnfield police for a ride home, something she’s done many times before. She believes a misunderstanding led to her brutal attack.
"The police officer pulled the taser out and started shooting in my right eye," she recollected.
She woke up with injuries so bad, her family says her life will never be the same. White has been in the hospital for three days and she’s just learned what some would consider the worst news possible, that she’ll never see out of her eye again.
"It's already hard living day to day, I have to stay with my parents you know, so this is just going to make my life even harder," said White as she reflected.
She's an army veteran who suffers from PTSD, anxiety and depression.
"When I saw her, the first thing that came to mind was Emmett Till because that’s how bad it was," said her sister as she recounted the moment she laid eyes on White.
Louisiana state police are investigating the allegations.
