WTF! Middle School Student Assaulted and Arrested for Wearing Rosary to Football Game!

http://bit.ly/1zfNXza Jacob Herrera, 14, was going to his middle school’s Wednesday night football game, when he was arrested for wearing a rosary. When Herrera arrived at the game he was approached by Corporal Wilson of the Amarillo Police Department, who asked him to remove his rosary. Allegedly Herrera refused to remove the rosary at which point, according to witness, Marivell Chavez, he was brought to the ground. During the struggle on the ground Herrera was apparently yelling out, “Call my mom” and “I can’t breathe”! “You know he handcuffed him and then crossed him across the street right there and slammed him again and he repeatedly slammed the child on the floor,” Chavez tells Channel 10 News. The APD says that this is not how the incident happened. They say that 14-year-old Herrera refused to comply with the officer’s commands and resisted arrest. “He was fighting with the officer, he wouldn’t comply with the commands, he wouldn’t put his arms behind his back. The officer used a couple of different compliance holds to try and get him to put his hands behind his back, he did not deploy his taser, he just tried to get him under control they rolled around on the ground for several minutes,” says Cpl Jerry Neufeld.
