A California woman has filed a lawsuit against a police department alleging that they pulled her from a car, piled on top of her and stomped her stomach, causing her to have a miscarriage. Emerald Black alleged in the lawsuit filed on Monday that officers from the San Leandro Police Department caused her to have a miscarriage when she and her fiance were stopped in June 2019. According to the lawsuit, police stopped the couple for ‘bad registration tags’. During the stop, police reportedly asked Black and her fiance to step out of their vehicle. Because she was ‘visibly pregnant’, Black asked officers if she could remain inside the vehicle. Despite her request, the unidentified officers allegedly ‘yanked Ms. Black from the car, taunted her, piled on top of her and stomped on her stomach leaving a show mark,’ the lawsuit alleges. Just days later, Black had a miscarriage, according to the lawsuit. Black alleges that her pregnancy ended ‘as a result of the officers’ excessive force’.Black also ‘suffered other physical injuries, embarrassment, humiliation and emotional distress both from the incident and loss of her child,’ the suit says.
