The video posted to social media Wednesday appears to show the officer kicking, then dragging a woman.

“As soon as I heard them shouting, I saw that they had pulled up behind her,” said Josh Gil from San Jose. “He demanded them to put their hands up, which she did.”

Gil shot the video as he was picking up food at the McDonald’s near east Santa Clara and Hwy. 101 in San Jose.

7 HOURS AGO Santa Cruz County Hits State Watch List “You can say it was an investigation but the video says it all,” said Jonathan Gastelum. “The lady was already on her knees and there’s not really much she could have done.”

Gil’s friend Gastelum had just pulled up and saw it too. He said there were two kids in the back of the car as well.

“I saw no one else recording, so I took the initiative because I wanted justice for them that wasn’t right at all,” Gil said.

The police officer is on paid leave and officers tell NBC Bay Area that there was a warrant to seize the car because officers had tried to stop it twice in the past week but then it sped off.

In the video you can also hear the passenger screaming they just bought the car.

“This video is deeply disturbing, and the officer’s conduct appalling,” Mayor San Liccardo tweeted. “This demands severe consequences.”

And later in a reply, he said, “This was not a case of an officer being confronted with violent conduct — at most resisting.”

The witnesses are happy the police department is doing an internal investigation.

“I just want justice for this woman and her family,” said Gil. “That’s the main concern, that’s the main reason I videotaped it.”

Meanwhile, the 39-year-old San Jose woman, Esperanza Marin, was booked into jail and faces charges of driving on a suspended license, possession of paraphernalia, and resisting arrest.

Like I said, I’ll take a look on the 80” this evening before my walk to to the city of Alma, just south of Los Gatos...

Road diet = removing auto traffic lanes to add bike lanes.

Disastrous policy.

Oh that crap

I have been seeing that all over the Bay Area and now I have a name for it.

I am in sales and drive hundreds of miles each day around the Bay Area and see so many things.

Cool.

I know someone that lives in/around Los Gatos. He has an 11 acre plot up on Mountain Charlie Road. He used to post here.

Posters of Free Republic are upset at Vendome’s formatting of a article.

An article was posted on a popular website and didn’t get the reviews the poster thought it would.

Free Republic post was hard to read. Posters took issue in the replies.

Posting an article in a website didn’t go like the poster intended.

Conservative website posts replies to contributor’s article and that’s when things went wrong.

Tailored my reply to match the syntax of the article.

LOL

I don’t care about anyone’s response

Been here since 1998. Forgot my other handle years ago and came up with this one, which I may change soon.

I never saw my post come out like that before.

I don’t blame you.

I used to work with a retired professor in San Jose. When traveling to the area, I became aware of Ted Lieu. My contempt for him knows no bounds.

Good luck in your move. ‘Pod
