Bianca Camacho, a 37-year-old police officer from Fairfield, California, went viral last Wednesday (May 20) for using what is being deemed excessive force to handcuff 16-year-old Maurice Williams at a local high school.
Video captured by her body camera showed Camacho repeatedly striking Williams while ordering him to “give me your f**king hands” after pulling him away from an altercation with another student.
Netizens quickly condemned the action, with many accusing Camacho of being “verbally and physically” hostile toward a minor. Some also called for her dismissal, writing, “She needs to be fired, along with anyone who behaves like this.”
