Newly released body camera footage shows Nevada officers repeatedly asking the children of a Black woman who is deaf to interpret for her as she was being detained, which advocates say is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The North Las Vegas Police Department released the footage Thursday, nearly two months after Andrea Hollingsworth was handcuffed in front of her 11-year-old twin daughters.
The body camera video provides a new perspective on the incident, which was also captured by Hollingsworth on Facebook Live. Hollingsworth s video, which now has more than 77,000 views, sparked backlash last month from the local chapters of the NAACP and ACLU and advocates from the deaf community.
