Castillo, 31, is the mother of a 7-year-old boy, works full-time and is enrolled in school. She said, on Feb. 20, she was leaving a music festival at Bayfront Park with her husband and a few friends. As officers ushered the crowd out of the venue, Castillo said she became separated from her group, and that is when she had a confrontation with one of the officers.

He was just cursing and saying, 'Just go.'" "Next thing I know, I'm getting pushed, and I'm getting thrown into a metal rail that was on the side. They pulled my arm and threw me. I got hit," recalled the 31-year-old. Read More |
