A California trooper has been filmed brutally beating a woman on the side of a highway - but authorities claimed he simply stopped her for her own safety.
A passing motorist recorded the unidentified California Highway Patrol officer as he punched the woman at least 11 times in the head along the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
On the video uploaded to YouTube, the woman can be seen trying to protect herself by putting up her hands but she does not appear to resist the trooper.
'The most animalistic, most brutal way to subdue someone is to pound someone's head into the concrete with really big blows to the head,' witness David Diaz told ABC7

Dialectical thinking ala Hegel.
I like your idea of a trebouchet.
How about a thousand of them lined up from San Diego to Corpus Christy?
“That is a political problem. Does it justify turning from the rule of law?”
NO, it is NOT a political problem. That cop is an individual and a citizen among us. NO politician forced him to do that. I don’t do those things, you don’t do those tings, and we all have the same political system. This is a bad person doing a bad thing and he needs punished, yet, he won’t be.
The cop did this because he does not fear punishment and he is a criminal. The political system failed to provide fear of punishment, but his personality is his, not the political system’s.

The other option is very, very ugly.
I also want to hold the cops to the rule of law. He need drug tested for steroids.

It's a political problem.
That cop is just a symptom that needs to be eradicated.

Yeah; you should never trust your lieing eyes, right?
How about insisting that the existing rules get enforced?

“Knee jerk hatred of cops is a leftist trait.”
And after viewing the video, it’s hard to imagine there is any “knee jerk” to the comments here. Cops should not have the unfettered ability to mete out any “punishment” they deem in their pea-brained mentality to be “necessary.” Day after day on FR we are treated to a steady diet of these unwarranted attacks on both us and our pets by these cretins. It’s long past time to put an end to this abuse under color of authority before more than the citizens are victims. Ask yourself what you’d want to do if this woman were a member of your family?
“He need drug tested for steroids.”
We need a new law: “Law enforcement under the influence.” Make it a 20 year sentence.
These cops lock of all kinds of people for illegal drug use, but then they use illegal steroids and carry a gun and government authority.

Death penalty by hanging.
I don't want to support the miscreant for 20 years.

Sounds like somebody got into the beer barrel early today...

Your guess is wrong.
Rational thought.
Try it. You might like it.
