"Rhodes approached Zhao and then pepper-sprayed her.
Associated Press reported Rhodes then threw her against a wall and kneed her on the head as she knelt on the ground. He then struck her head on the ground while holding her hair. The other officers joined him."
I guess this kind of treatment is ok as long as drugs are found on the suspects?
Personally, I think $5 Million is a little cheap. The guard probably beats his own woman.
The article didn't say that they found drugs on her. The border agent stomped her when she tried to take pictures of an arrest of a male suspect.
"She and two other women were crossing the Rainbow Bridge over Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border late last Wednesday when Customs and Border Protection officers confiscated marijuana from a male pedestrian.
The three were trying to take pictures when the officers inside a house nearby called and then rushed out of the building."
I hope the judge limits the award to actual damages rather than some 'send a message' type amount.
