Police in Texas have launched an investigation after online video surfaced showing a Hunt County Sheriff’s officer strike an Air Force veteran who was nine months pregnant last month.
Footage shows two deputies restrain Deanna Robinson during the March 4th incident as they accompanied Child Protective Services to her parents’ home to remove the 38-year-old’s 18-month-old son Landry over allegations of of abuse.
Robinson can be heard shouting that she is pregnant before a deputy is seen at the end of the video hitting her.

Robinson told WFAA that the accusations of child abuse stem from a March 1st incident when she and he husband got into a shoving match while she held her son. Robinson said she went to stay with her parents afterwards to let things settle down. A teacher at her nine-year-old stepson’s school, however, learned of the incident and contacted CPS.
On March 3rd, CPS and law enforcement personnel showed up at her door and knocked, Robinson told WFAA.
“He said, ‘We’re here to remove your son,’” Robinson said. “I said, ‘Nobody is touching my kid without a court order or a warrant.’”
According to the 38-year-old mother, officers failed to show her the documents and forced themselves into her home.
“I’m positioning myself in front of my child as the officers are screaming, ‘There’s the kid. Grab him,’” she told WFAA.

So teachers/cops are supposed to simply ignore when a kid tells them that mommy/daddy hit them? How about bruises or other marks. Just tell the kid to suck it up?
Certainly you understand the difference between a badged, sworn and armed police officer and my doctor. First, one is a union goon and the other one is not.
As far as your 400,000 statistic goes, where did that come from? It doesn’t surprise me that people die after going to the hospital or for doctors care. They went there because they were sick or injured in the first place.
I have no way to time my engagements with police officers, on the other hand. Whenever they’ve got a quota to fill or feel like kicking someone’s ass there they are. And I have nothing to say about it. I just have to deal with them.
No, you call the appropriate government people to take care of it because that is what they are paid to do. Better yet call a church or United Way. THEY can investigate, make a determination IF anything is wrong and get the warrant. Cops should NEVER have to take these simple steps. On top of the obvious, so what if a kid got hit? If he was kicked, punched, or strangled then we have a crime,ergo; the cops.
Wow. You and I obviously have vastly different experiences in this arena. So let's just leave it at that.
