Chicago Police Supt. David Brown is seeking to fire an officer who dragged a woman by her hair out of a car and knelt on her neck — an encounter that was captured on a cellphone video that went viral.
Officer David Laskus came under internal investigation after the incident on May 31, 2020, in the parking lot of Brickyard Mall on the Northwest Side where he smashed a window of the car Mia Wright was in, pulled Wright out by her hair and knelt on her neck.
