A San Francisco woman is saying she is the victim of police brutality after she was violently thrown against a wall by police who accused her of jaywalking - resulting in a concussion and a separated shoulder among other injuries. 

Christiana Porter, 34, says she was wrongfully stopped while crossing the street in front of a police car in the Richmond District on July 29th.

'What did I do wrong? I'm just walking across the street,' Porter told local Fox affiliate KTVU on Monday.

Video footage shows an officer driving against traffic to confront Porter, who was wearing headphones and apparently unaware that he was was trying to get her attention.

After exiting his police car, the officer pushes Porter against a wall.

A bystander's video captures Porter screaming, 'I'm not resisting.'

'Honestly, as a Black woman, just trying to stay alive. I thought about my five kids, trying to make it home to my kids,' she said. 

More officers arrived on the scene with sirens blaring to assist the violent officer.

'I just don't trust them no more,' Porter said. 'I seriously don't trust them. I feel like they abuse and use their power and authority to brutalize and just torment and harass civilians.' 

Officer Josh McFall justified the use of force by claiming Porter was noncompliant, refusing to identify herself or keep her hands visible. 

He told a witness he felt compelled to act due to concerns about potential weapons concealed in Porter's pockets or purse. 

'I didn't want it to go this way, but when people put me in that position, I don't have a choice,' McFall said to the witness. 

Porter sustained a concussion, separated shoulder, and nerve damage. 

She claims the officer ignored her statement that she was a domestic violence survivor, which only added to her trauma.

'I'm not a threat, I'm just trying to get my life back,' she said tearfully. 'When I told him I was a survivor, he was just, 'I don't care, this doesn't matter right now.'' 

Her attorneys argue that the officer violated department regulations by ticketing her for jaywalking without an immediate safety risk. They also criticize the disproportionate use of force for a minor offense, and question why Porter was on their radar given the epidemic of major crime in the city.

'There are more serious crimes that should be addressed by the San Francisco Police Department, especially since they claim they're understaffed,' said attorney Lateef Gray. 

Attorney Treva Stewart suggested Officer McFall's actions were driven by personal anger rather than legitimate law enforcement concerns. She characterized the incident as an example of 'contempt of cop.' 

Assembly member Phil Ting's recent law decriminalizes jaywalking, except in cases posing a danger to pedestrians or drivers.

"If there's something happening that puts the pedestrian or the driver at risk, that's when there should be a citation," Ting said.

The incident has sparked outrage and renewed calls for police reform.
