You're getting flamed here, but I have a relative who was stopped by the police for "beating" her children. My relative is a medical doctor who would never do such a thing. She was only putting the children in their seats in the car, and a neighbor called and reported her to the police. That neighbor never liked my relatives - she seemed to be very jealous of their success. The cop checked the kids out and commented that they looked scared. My relative retorted: That's because a cop is shining his flashlight in their faces.
However, that doesn't mean the woman on the videotape is innocent. I can't get the online video to work, so I cannot comment about her. The photos don't show very much.

Your relative is lucky her kids weren't seized and subjected to "interviews" with child psychologists who'd plant tales of physical and sexual abuse in the kids minds, and then use their own reports to get a court to keep the kids in foster care, and send the parents to mandatory therapy where they'd have to "stop being in denial" and confess to all sorts of things they never did, in order to get their kids back.

Good Point about Tex's perspective on this, perhaps he did only see the kinder gentler version. I saw the entire vid on fox news website. It was a pummeling. If Tex only saw the tame version, I'm sorry tex. If you saw the entire video, and maintain your stance, You need some dark sunglasses , a cane, and a seeing eye german shepard..becuase you my friend are blind. I have a daughter at home, 16 months old...this made me sick.

Your relative is lucky she was a medical doctor. Cops tread carefully with white professionals who can afford good lawyers.
Had your relative been "white trash," and God forbid, a "white trash" male with tatoos and beer-breath, he'd of been arrested regardless of his innocence.
And if he turned out to be innocent, the cops would have invented some "probable cause" excuse or minor offense to justify the arrest, if only to counter any potential lawsuits.
"Conservatives" had better learn to temper their "tough on crime" knee-jerks with some respect for civil liberties. The innocents arrested could be a FReeper.
