I heard on local radio this morning that the officers involved were being followed by a television crew for some television show called "The first 48".
An ambulance-chasing lawyer who, at one time, had political aspirations in the state is taking on the case and reports having video footage of the whole incident proving negligence on the part of the officers. One can only assume he has access to the TV show footage; the state police have requested this evidence be shared with them to further help in the investigation. 
Prayers out to the girl and the officers...

Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
