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

She must’ve said something bad to that officer, something really bad to deserve that beating.

Can you give me an example of something she would say that would make a beating like that justifiable?

That’s right. Because the head bounces much higher off grass, which means you have two objects meeting at velocity.

And the best part is the throw is shortened giving more opportunities to thrust a fist thusly in someone’s face.

Frickin brilliant! !!

If she was determined to run in to traffic on the 10 freeway the cop is fully justified in doing whatever it takes.

He may have prevented not just her death, but the deaths of many others and if not death, a life of having killed someone with your car.

Knee jerk hatred of cops is a leftist trait.

Just say no.

Justifiable to who? The cops? God? The citizens?

Oh, don’t worry. They will be here. Threads draw them like moths to light. Their worship or authority is too strong to resist.

Fk them.

They are not children.

They are invaders, who will bring their families in twenty years, from whatever crap hole country they originate, under a new form if amnesty.

“I also question the amount of force he used to subdue her and make her comply with putting cuffs on her. It appears to be excessive.”

Perhaps. None of us can say at this point.

But to prevent someone from running on to the 10 freeway in fact merits serious force, including up to deadly force.

Such an act could cause multiple deaths in addition to her own.

It is like stopping someone trying to commit mass murder.

You really are a brain dead leftist.

You’ve fully internalized the New Left view of Amerikkka.

I think he’s following doctrine. He wants her to lie prone with her hands behind her back, and she is resisting, as far as he is concerned. His blows accomplish their purpose and he cuffs her.

Still bad form on the cops part, though. If he had enough to control to beat her face, he had enough control to flip her over and cuff her.

Lawyer will focus on training and policy.

Not hardly. I just want folks to behave under the rule of law.

That includes policemen, and citizens. I don't want the cop to get 'jailhouse justice'. I don't want the citizen being beaten to get extra-judicial punishment either.

How about a blood test for both of them, for unlawful substances, including steroids?

Is that leftist?

His judgment and training are suspect, then. Defensive raising of the hands isn't resistance.

Training, policy, and circumstances. If you consider training and policy out of context, you end up making a bad decision.

One’s stupidity is not the responsibility of the owner of a ball park. Dog chases cars, dog gets run over, its not the fault of the owner of the car or the road.

Let’s hope they don’t prevail.

It's all Monday Morning quarterbacking now. He can't take back the fists striking her face. That's on video.

A decision will be made. I hope it's a well informed decision, that includes blood tests for unlawful drugs, from both of them.

Since it wasn't a dog, he wasn't chasing a car, and he got beat through the unlawful actions of adult humans, and not run over by a mechanical contraption....

I hope justice prevails.

It's noncompliance. It's just like RK, really - he was not complying, and they were going by the book.
