Austin authorities are investigating two police officers after the violent arrest of a black schoolteacher during a traffic stop.
The Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV obtained footage of the arrest this week.
The video shows Officer Bryan Richter hurling Breaion King, 26, out of her car and to the ground just seconds after telling her to close her car door during the June 15, 2015, incident.
In an arrest report, Richter wrote that he had pulled King over for going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. He said that King was "uncooperative" and had resisted arrest by pulling away from him and holding onto the steering wheel.
King is heard screaming as Richter grabs her and yells at her to stop resisting.
King said she didn't have a chance to obey the officer's orders.
"It happened really fast," she said. "I wasn't given enough time."
