A lawsuit questions the behavior of a law enforcement officer during a traffic stop.
A black Texas teacher is suing the city of Austin after being thrown to the ground by a white officer during a traffic stop, then being told by another that blacks have "violent tendencies."
Breaion King filed suit against the city of Austin in U.S. District Court on Tuesday.
King was arrested after being stopped for speeding last summer.
She's seeking damages that "most probably" exceed $1 million.
Her case garnered national attention after patrol car video was released in July.
Police Chief Art Acevedo publicly apologized, and launched departmental investigations that remain ongoing.
But King's attorney, Erica Grigg, said that when King subsequently contacted city leaders to have larger discussions about her arrest, she got little response.
Grigg said King "wants justice and doesn't want something like this" happening to others.
