Jerrel Perez sued Shawn Guetschow, an off-duty Kenosha police officer working as a school guard, for kneeling on his 12-year-old daughter’s neck after a fight.

Now Guetschow, the city of Kenosha and the Kenosha Unified School District face a federal lawsuit from the 12-year-old’s family.

Perez’s daughter did not resist and told Guetschow she could not breathe, the lawsuit alleges. Guetschow allegedly did not issue any commands to Perez’s daughter as he restrained her. Shortly after the incident, Perez compared the actions in the cafeteria to the killing of George Floyd, who died in 2020 after a police officer knelt on his neck for nine minutes.above two photos. One showed police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck, and the other showed Guetschow doing the same to Perez’s daughter.
