Scene from Atlanta protest following the death of George Floyd, a black man killed by Minneapolis police.

An Atlanta police officer is on administrative duty after activists say video shows him body-slamming a woman amid protests over police brutality.

News outlets report 24-year-old Amber Jackson says the officer yanked her out of a car and threw her down, breaking her shoulder and fracturing her clavicle in the early morning hours of May 30. 

Police released a statement saying Jackson attempted to move a barricade blocking the road and then refused to get out of the vehicle. The officer hasn't been identified but was placed on desk duty. Jackson's attorney and other activists are calling for the officer to be fired.
