(CNN) The Kenosha Police Department has asked the FBI to look into the case of an off-duty police officer seen on video putting his knee on the neck of a 12-year-old girl for more than 20 seconds to break up a school fight in March. "Chief (Eric) Larsen asked the FBI to look at it," police Lt. Joseph Nosalik told CNN on Wednesday. "Because of the visual similarities to George Floyd , he decided that our department's credibility and integrity were paramount," Nosalik told CNN affiliate WISN. "He wanted an outside agency to look at the incident in its entirety." The girl is currently receiving counseling and psychiatric services and undergoing physical therapy, her family attorney Drew DeVinney told CNN on Tuesday.
