DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Dallas activists voiced frustration Monday with recent charges brought against a white man caught on video attacking a black woman in Deep Ellum.
The video shows Austin Shuffield repeatedly punching the woman Thursday. He later pulled a gun and was charged with Aggravated Assault and other misdemeanors, and bonded out of jail Friday. Dallas activists told a city Public Safety Committee that they want Shuffield charged with a hate crime.
“You let him go,” said one speaker to Dallas City Council members. “He walks free. We are talking about a public safety committee. My public safety is disturbed.”
Activists said if they don’t see justice in this case, they will continue to protest and boycott Deep Ellum.
