A police officer has been fired after he was caught on camera punching a woman squarely in the face while she was handcuffed.
Former Loveland Officer Russell Maranto, 28, punched Angelia Hall, 59, in the mouth while she was detained in a hospital emergency room.
In the footage, Hall can be heard becoming increasingly frustrated and angry as she sits in an examination chair while cursing and yelling at the officers and nurses who were present.
But it was when she spat at Maranto that he immediately reacted by punching her.
Another officer in the room intervened and pulled Maranto away from Hall.

Loveland Police Chief Tim Doran released a statement on Friday as he explained his reasoning for firing the officer, citing his unnecessary use of force.

Where I’m from true. Not sure about NY, IL, CA as well as others.
BullSchiff !,
Criminally charge that thug put him in general pop.
assinine
“The Loveland PD has quite a history “ of violent winning against elderly women.
We almost do anyway. They show up hrs later when called. They allow Trump supporters to be beat on. Too many of them are on a power trip. They arrest people who pray. They go after people at church. They don’t like you
So arrest them for assault. Don’t punch a handcuffed woman in the face. If he is married, I wonder how often he beats his wife
Former Police Officers Charged Over Arrest of Woman With DementiaVideo of the 73-year-old woman being thrown to the ground has led to scrutiny of the Loveland Police Department in Colorado.
Threatening to hurt someone if you have the means is assault also. A crippled old man in a wheelchair threatening to punch you is not assault. A 6’4” 250 lb guy rearing his fist back and threatening to punch you is assault...(at least in stupidfornia...
I didn’t say I agreed with it. So piss off.
Yup.
Promote the cop!
Trash bitch needed educated.
Spit on my daughter or son...I promise you, you’re getting an ass kicking...!
Crippled guy in a wheelchair pointing a gun at you though is assault.
He slapped her. Rightfully so. Anybody who wants to be a cop with the intention of helping others and upholding the law is out of their minds
I don’t have the temperament to be a cop.
I would have wiped the spittle off and told
the person “I forgive you, but if they did that
again the would surely die”.
And I would execute that threat.
That didn’t look like much of a punch to me. More of a warning that if she did it again she might really get punched.
Me neither.
Right. He has the means to carry out his threat. Unless his hands and fingers can’t pull the trigger. If he can hold and aim the assumption would be that he has the means.
I thought women were supposed to be equal to men. Isn’t that the women’s lib mantra? Anyhow, I’d never hit or even slap my wife, a stranger that spots on me would force a violent response from me regardless of the gender, of which there are only two.
Almost a feel good video. The skank should have been slugged, not slapped.
Who wants to be cop these days anyway?
