A California community is calling for a female police officer, Bianca Camacho, to resign after bodycam footage appeared to show her brutally beating up a high school boy, Maurice Williams, 16. The incident occurred on May 20 when Camacho was called to Fairfield High School to assist school resource officer James Lewis after a fight broke out. Video showed Camacho restraining Williams on the ground, striking him with an open palm several times to the face while holding his head down. The officer was seen screaming at Williams and holding him down by his hair. The police department launched an independent investigation, and Camacho was administratively reassigned.
