YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHigh school students in Quakertown, PA say they were violently assaulted by plainclothes police after staging a peaceful walkout against ICE.
Administrators from the Quakertown Community School District reportedly tried to shut the protest down over “safety concerns,” then called police on the students who participated.
Students say a man jumped out of an unmarked car in plain clothes, and many believed they were being attacked by a counter-protester, not a police officer.
Eyewitnesses report that it was Police Chief Scott McElree who was plainclothes and was seen choking a female student on the ground during the arrests.
At a weekend press conference, one parent said her daughter was “deliberately sought after,” thrown to the ground, and choked, while another said she still has not been able to speak with her child since the arrest and fears for her safety.
Now parents, teachers, and community members are demanding the release of body camera footage and incident reports, and calling for all detained students to be released.
