On Wednesday, she filed a federal lawsuit against the city of San Francisco and its police and fire departments.
On June 13, Kareim McKnight and her friend Amanda Piasecki walked down to the floor of Chase Center during the game's first quarter, with banners reading, “Overturn Roe? Hell No!” to protest the Supreme Court’s expected decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, said the lawsuit, filed by civil rights attorney John Burris in the U.S. District Court for Northern California.
As McKnight and her friend chanted, “Abortion on demand and without apology,” near seats on the floor, they were “forcibly dragged” out of the arena into the stadium garage, where McKnight was thrown to the ground and handcuffed, the complaint said. A security guard reportedly held his knee on her back, according to the complaint.
McKnight expressed that she was peacefully protesting. A San Francisco police officer then allegedly threatened her with sedation and although she said she didn't want it, a San Francisco firefighter reportedly injected her against her will while she was strapped into a gurney, the complaint said. "One of the firefighters came with a needle toward me and I couldn't believe what I was seeing," McKnight toldMcKnight reportedly"became dizzy and began to slur her words," the complaint said. She was taken to a Kaiser Permanente hospital in SF before being discharged, the complaint said.
