The father of a 12-year-old girl called for charges to be filed against an off-duty police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, who appeared to kneel on his daughter's neck while trying to stop a fight.
"She's humiliated, she's traumatized. Every day I gotta hear, 'Daddy, I don't wanna go to school,'" the father, Jerrel Perez, said during a press conference in Kenosha Wednesday.
