The Original Black Panthers of Milwaukee are calling for the firing of a Wisconsin police officer after a video surfaced showing an officer punching a teen outside a mall during an arrest.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the video shows a 17-year-old getting punched by an officer during an incident in which security at a mall in Wauwatosa called authorities about a group of males causing a disturbance.

Group leader King Rick led a protest of about eight Black Panthers on Saturday at the Wauwatosa Police Department and Mayfair mall.

Wauwatosa police said in a Friday statement that the video shows a small segment of the interaction.

Police say the teen started fighting with the officer. The juvenile was cited for battery, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.
