A viral video captured an Arizona college cheerleader being violently slammed to the ground and pummeled on top of a bicycle by cops after she allegedly interfered with an arrest.
Arizona State University senior Eryn Bonner was hit with two misdemeanor charges last week in Tempe after a harrowing video captured cops allegedly leaving her covered in bruises during an arrest in July, according to the Tempe Police Department and ABC15.
Bonner, a member of the ASU Stunt team, was seen in the early morning of July 19, reapproaching officers who were arresting another individual after being told to get back.
“Let him go, let him go,” Bonner could be heard screaming before the altercation unfolded.
The college student was then pushed to the ground by a cop, the clip shows.
Tempe police allege that Bonner punched an officer multiple times, the outlet reported.
The clip, including bodycam footage from the arrest, shows the officer then toss her onto a bicycle and restrain her — appearing to punch her before another officer swoops in to cuff her.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has declined to pursue felony charges against Bonner, and cops told the outlet that they would not resubmit the felony charges.

First of all, the unwanted touching of another person can be a provocation, irrespective of their position.
But, the unwanted touching of a police officer, who is performing his duty is risky business!
Let’s face it, what she did was uncivilized.
Her parent(s) obviously didn’t teach her shit!
LOL - Panty shot!
She’s black, the officer appears to be white, so Tempe is going cut its losses and write a check.
“Mo’ Money! Mo’ Money! Mo’ Money!”
What makes comedy effective is how well it mirrors reality!
Equal treatment for women.
If I, a man, had done the same, they would have tossed my ass to the ground. She needs to shut up and learn to respect the law.
FAFO.
YouTube. Looks like some original police video as well as some sappy garbage about how cops should behave. Skip that part.

Allegedly shoved to the ground and allegedly arrested
“I’m black, the law doesn’t apply to me”
Moral of the story:
When asked nicely to back up and stay out of the way, STAY OUT OF THE WAY!
Otherwise you’re gonna get rag dolled across the street!!
It pays to listen!!!
Talarico: Works for me. Without them I feel so...exposed.
She still hasn't learned it. She'll go for a payout from the taxpayers in Tempe and learn the wrong lesson.
“Allege” and all its forms replaced the equally abused “oxymoron.” Horrid and lazy writing.
The cops reacted to her aggression. She got what she deserved.
Get a white friend.

They spelled that wrong.
