A Mississippi police officer is under investigation after being caught on camera pulling a woman to the ground by her hair while on duty.
The mayor of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and the police chief met to discuss the incident on Friday.
They wouldn't comment specifically on what was said, only telling WHPQ that it is a "personnel matter that is being handled behind closed doors."
The incident was captured by a security camera at a strip mall in Clarksdale.
Some residents questioned the woman’s reaction after being pulled to the ground. They said she appeared to be laughing and smiling when the officer yanked her to stand back up.
WHPQ reached out to the officer involved – who is not being identified at this time – but he does not want to speak about the incident.
The officer has not been charged with anything as of yet.
