been denied. Well, a woman who says she suffered more than 300 fire ant bites, mostly on her face, says it happened as police officers held her down in an ant mound. I'll do this better on my face, please let go. Help me. You can hear Taylor Rogers in this police body cam video screaming for help after she says she was stopped by Santa Fe Independent School District Police and Santa Fe Police Department officers because she says she was driving the wrong way in a circle drive at her son's school and for no reason thrown on the ground right into a bed of fire ants. Answer on my face and then held there while she's screaming that there's fire ants on her. They put they put handcuffs on her so she can't even brush them off her face. The absence of empathy and human compassion among some individuals in law enforcement, Rogers says she was bitten over and over on her face, scalp, neck, chest, back and arms by fire ants. We know that actually, on occasion, they kill animals and even sometimes they can kill people with enough bites. And I was counting these bites and I stopped at 300, 300 bites. Just cut my circulation off. Answer on my face. She's now filed a federal lawsuit in Galveston County against the city of Santa Fe and two officers. She says she was on school grounds, dropping off her nine year old son, who was in the car and saw the whole thing. She's telling these officers, there's ants on my face and they don't brush them off. This was their punishment. They knew what they're doing. This was no mistake. While I forgive those officers for their actions that day, I refuse to remain silent in the face of the violation of my son's and my civil rights. This happened in August 2021, and the Santa Fe Police Department has not disciplined any officer. They have accepted this behavior. It's not just a failure of individual officers, but also of the leadership and the first responders who are called upon to resolve societal issues and disputes. If this is okay to do what they did to Taylor, then what else is okay
