A disturbing video clip that went viral on social media showed the moment Liberty High School student Taylor Bracey,16, was violently body-slammed by deputy school resource officer Ethan Fournier. Fournier reportedly tried to break up a fight but Taylor’s mother, Jamesha Bracey, says there was no physical altercation at all and the group of girls was only arguing. Prior to the incident, Taylor told her mother about the girl who wanted to fight her and Jamesha said to report the situation to the dean.
“On Tuesday, I had got a phone call from my daughter stating that you know, some girls wanted to jump her. I told her to go and tell the dean. The dean called me and told me that he preferred for someone to come and get her from student services. I get a phone call 20 minutes later from the assistant principal telling me that an EMT wanted to check my daughter out. They didn’t give any details over the phone and the lieutenant EMT told me that she didn’t have any physical injuries.”

During an interview with TMZ, attorney Ben Crump said Taylor is currently experiencing memory loss plus severe headaches and she doesn’t remember what happened after the encounter. Jamesha also mentioned that her daughter only remembers arguing with the girl and waking up in the school’s office before she was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Taylor is also suffering from blurry vision and sleeping issues.
