A California cop punched a female suspected shoplifter in the head while arresting her for allegedly stealing $2,000 worth of goods from a mall, according to a now-viral video.
The 50-second video, which has more than 780,000 views on TikTok, opens with the end of a car chase in Vallejo on Friday, when officers were attempting to cuff the suspect, who allegedly shoplifted with an accomplice from the Gateway Plaza shopping mall.
The officer walks up to the driver, who had not been identified, and pulls her out of the car as she resists him. The officer then slams her against the car before grabbing her by her hair and tossing her to the ground.
As the woman appears to resist while lying on the ground, the arresting officer can be seen punching her in the head, with police saying it was necessary to get her to comply.
The officer then holds the woman still with his knees as she tries to wriggle, and he is able to put the handcuffs on her as other officers arrive at the scene.
Vallejo police said the incident began after a loss-prevention officer waved down officers and told them about a duo who had stolen merchandise from the shopping plaza, KTVU reports.
The cops were able to locate the suspects based on the loss-prevention officer’s description, but when they initially tried to arrest the driver, she allegedly resisted and drove away.
The car chase was short-lived when the suspects ran a red light and collided with two vehicles, including a cement truck and an SUV carrying a mother and her two 4-year-old sons, police said.(snip)
As the officer arrested the driver, her alleged accomplice ran from the scene. The fleeing woman was eventually stopped by a passerby.

$2000 worth? Must have been a grocery store,
Was she BLACK?
Some people need to get their bell rung, good and loud, before they pay attention.
Looked like pretty vigorous resistance to me. It did not stop after he punched her either.
Don't start no trouble, won't be no trouble.
Yes, and...

Surely, you jest.
She also was fleeing and drove into two other vehicles.
No issue with the treatment at all. He would have done the same for a dude who did what she did, and probably more.
Let me guess before I even look: Asian woman? Darn! Wrong again.
“..Was she BLACK?....”
ROTFLMFAO!!!!
It’s California and the cop is white so no doubt he will be fired and she will be awarded millions.
A life of crime has it’s downsides.
The driver and her accomplice should be given life sentences given their criminal records so far. Irredeemable.
Bingo Gringo! The cop may be sent to prison and the women will be awarded mliions. California has gone insane.

Got a problem with a man hitting a woman? Why. Gender is just a construct. We are all equal and should be so treated.
