Prepare to be outraged.....Shocking Surveillance Video Captures Cop Brutally Beating Female Shoplifter In Front Of Her 1 Yr Old Child in Iowa.

I worked in corporate loss prevention a long time ago...let me tell you...this is beyond lawsuit...these cops should be in prison.

First they came and beat the crap out of a shoplifer in front of her kids, then next they will beat the crap out of your wife in front of your kids (or someone elses) for a traffic violation. Its a bad omen for where we are headed as a nation. If those who over step their authority aren’t held accountable x2, then this mindset will expand like a cancer just as it did in every police state. We need to demand accountability.

I agree with you that the full video with audio is needed to make a complete objective evaluation. Out of context is what the media likes to use to hype their story or propaganda.

However most of us are concerned about apparent police brutality here and elsewhere and how to minimize it before it gets out of hand. One suggestion to add accountability on this would be to establish a permanent USDOJ complaint record for every LEO in America. It would be a permanent file that would retain all complaints ever filed (internally or externally) against an LEO in any jurisdiction that they work, just as do those in the financial fields. Knowing that any abuse will become a permanent record regardless of the investigative or legal outcome would curtail misbehavior. It’s critical that a few LEOs do not destroy the credibility of the force.

I clicked View Replies to your post. I guess I’m the only one to ‘get’ what you wrote.

You nailed it. WTG.

[wideawake]

Thank you. I’m surprised it was that difficult to grasp.

I didn’t ser the bite.

There is video showing the cops calmly saying something to the thief. At which point she leans forward and either yells or spits.

You have no audio...You have no idea what was said...Thought so.

[dragnet2]

Let’s see...cop versus thief...thief versus video...I think I’ll side with the cop and the video

Why side with government agents?

Has it not been shown cops and others in government lie as a matter of routine?

You think cops lying are isolated, uncommon events?

[dragnet2]

BTW, the issue here is what occurred in the room, when the cops were beating on the female suspect.

[dragnet2]

I like how you keep insisting that the video isn’t edited.

I never insisted that. Those are your words..

But you have evaded the question multiple times though..

Once again, if there is other video of the female attacking the officers first, why wouldn't they just show it?

[dragnet2]

You keep insisting the video is edited while suggesting there is some mysterious edited cuts. It seems you're suggesting there is mysterious cut or hidden video of the female suspect attacking the officers first.

Why have the cops not posted it?

Why are they hiding it?

How many times do you have to asked about this?

BFL.

What did she do to deserve that??

Steal the last box of donuts in the world?

I see what you did there.

Good one.

I “got it” but I’m not sure how to respond without part of the ‘subset’ freaking out.

I’d have a *really* hard time shooting a woman who broke in the house.

I guess if she were armed and about to shoot me or mine, yeah but generally, I don’t think I could.

Especially if I knew she was somebody’s mother.

Mothers are sort of “sacred”...even if they don’t act like it.

Tell me, was not that video chopped up? Did you not notice how the video jumped time? Does that mean there is a different video somewhere? Or, might it just be that the entire video wasn’t presented, and that what was shown was edited. The term, “some other video”, has a different connotation.

[SoldierDad]

The initial physical contact, if you noticed, involved the officer taking hold of the woman’s wrist and attempting to place her into a restraint for the purpose of putting her in handcuffs. The “beating”, which takes place after the editing of the tape, is secondary to the initial contact.

[SoldierDad]

First they came and beat the crap out of a shoplifer in front of her kids, then next they will beat the crap out of your wife in front of your kids (or someone elses) for a traffic violation.

Already has happened.

[dragnet2]

You’re an extremely disingenuous individual.

[dragnet2]

For the record.

A big problem here is the quality of the chopped up video.

Did I make some sort of claim of there being some other video. I must have missed that I did that.

I guess you missed it.

Does "chopped up video" not imply there is other video or this video is incomplete?

Wow...

[SoldierDad]

Your rude and obnoxious.
