Videos show altercation between White Chicago police officer and Black woman as she is walking her dog along the beach saturday morning

Nikkita Brown was walking her dog early Saturday morning in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood when she was approached by a white Chicago police officer. The discussion led to a verbal argument, which soon led to a physical altercation with Brown screaming for help and struggling to defend herself, according to Brown's attorney Keenan Saulter. The unnamed police officer approached Brown late night Saturday to tell her the North Avenue beach was closing, Saulter said. As Brown and the officer started to argue, the officer turned on his body camera and began to record the interaction, Saulter said. The officer approached Brown, who replied, “Hey, you don't have a mask on, please keep your distance, please,” which eventually led to the physical altercation, Saulter claimed. “She's emotionally distraught at this stage. She's still just very raw emotionally, doing her best to kind of keep it together,” Saulter told ABC News. “But it's extremely difficult with someone who's supposed to protect you, attacks you, and it was just completely unprovoked.”
