NAACP RALLIES WITH HARGROVE

Dozens of people upset over a viral Facebook video called for changes to the Bakersfield Police Department during a rally at the Liberty Bell downtown.

19-year-old Tatyana Hargrove says she was beaten by officers then attacked by a K-9 when they mistook her for a machete-wielding man who was threatening grocery shoppers on Ming Avenue and Ashe Road last month. Local NAACP President Patrick Jackson says she is also being unfairly charged with assaulting the officers.

BPD disagrees with her side of the story but has launched an internal investigation.
