Injunctions have been filed against the Liberty High School student body-slammed by an Osceola sheriff’s deputy by two mothers whose daughters attend the school.
The mothers say they filed the injunctions against 16-year-old Taylor Bracey for their daughters’ protection. In a viral video shared widely last week, Bracey was body-slammed to the ground by Osceola Deputy Ethan Fournier last month. Bracey was knocked unconscious when her head hit the concrete. She is now seeing a neurologist for headaches, memory loss, and blurred vision, according to the family’s attorney. Footage of the takedown sparked outrage.
Fournier has been placed on leave pending the investigation. The sheriff’s office has defended Fournier, and claims the parents’ accounts of Bracey’s behavior prove parents should “stop making excuses” for their kids.
