The smell of revolt is in the air.
Things have sure changed in the last 10 years. We all used to hold all police officers in high esteem.

Man, that looks like it hurt. Not only slammed her to the ground with her hands behind her back but she slid along the pavement....twice!! I’m surprised she doesn’t have more serious road rash.
A simple cell phone violation. Unbelievable! This is on top of another police brutality incident last week also in L.A.
I hope both of them sue like hell which I’m certain they will.
Payday is coming for this woman.
The officer’s Commander has been suspended (and he may be demoted...) for failing to report the incident more than a week after he first viewed the video tape...
I think that Fullerton episode where these cops beat a homeless man to death while he yelled for help and G-d. That has to be the most despicable incident yet. But then, it’s the LA syndrome.
The portions of the tape shown only show the cops as being the heavies; I’d like to see the whole tape shown all in one dose before coming to judgement.
That said, LA Cops (and I once lived in Foothill Division jurisdiction) have a reputation for not taking any crap from anybody at any time.
First of all, don’t get out of the car unless requested. Second of all, fire both officers. Why is this kind of behavior so common? Why are our police so militarized and aggressive?
I watched the video... the little fist bump by the officers (after hurting this woman) speaks volumes.
As an active officer, I got some real issues with this as well.
First the cheesy PC for the stop, second, why the need for an arrest anyway, and third, that second slam was entirely retaliatory and out of policy.
Those guys are so fired, and Feebies are probably going to get involved.
Sometimes when you see your partner getting ready to come unglued you have to tell him or her to take a break before it turns into this.
“She was cited for resisting arrest.”
Translation: “We had to charge her with something so that the same people who would have no problem viewing two non-police officers who charge a woman and slam her to the ground as thugs would hesitate to view our officers in that light.”
