There are new questions about how police handle mental health calls following the release of disturbing video of a Texas sheriff s deputy restraining an 18-year-old.
The body camera footage begins with a Kaufman County sheriff s deputy only identified as Martin following a barefoot 18-year-old Nekia Trigg as she walked home last Tuesday. Martin s office had received calls about a young woman in the neighborhood threatening to kill herself by jumping into oncoming traffic. There s a young lady, an African American lady that is walking in the middle of the street, a 911 caller says. I m keeping an eye on her because I don t want anything to happen to her. Three people have already had to swerve out of the way, including me.

The sheriff’s office shared a post to Facebook the day after the incident, asking members of the public to refrain from calling the non-emergency number after numerous calls created “an unmanageable call volume.”

The Leaning Tower of Dallas was born on Feb. 16 when the planned implosion of the former Affiliated Computer Services building didn t fully collapse upon detonation. When the dust settled the building s core, containing the stairwell and elevator shaft, remained upright at an angle. For the next two weeks, people traveled from near and far to take whimsical photographs with the tower in the background. The building finally collapsed in a cloud of dust on March 2 after two weeks of being whacked with a 5,600-pound wrecking ball.
