[Video] California cop pummels woman in head on side of highway

Do you see her holding up her hand to ward off the blows? Clearly she was resisting. (And clearly I'm being sarcastic).

You know, I was thinking. There's a reason why the Black Panthers used to bring guns when the observed the police. Sadly back when Rodney King first happened I thought cameras in the hands of citizens would put an end to police brutality. I underestimated the power of the average person to rationalize away anything.

Clearly, it was intended to show our brave heroes in blue, in a bad light.

Why do you hate AmeriKa, comrade?

Motorist Captures Violent Encounter Between CHP Officer and Woman on 10 Freeway

POSTED 8:37 PM, JULY 3, 2014, BY KENNEDY RYAN AND CHRIS WOLFE, UPDATED AT 02:03AM, JULY 4, 2014

Video shot by David Diaz showed the CHP officer knock the woman to the ground, straddle her body and repeatedly punch her.

A motorist used his cellphone to capture what appeared to be the violent arrest of a woman on the 10 Freeway near La Brea Avenue on Tuesday.
The video, shot by David Diaz, showed the woman walking along the freeway when she was approached by an unidentified California Highway Patrol officer.

It was not clear if words were exchanged between the two, but at one point the officer walked up behind the woman and grabbed her, the video showed.
A struggle ensued, during which the officer appeared to knock the woman to the ground, straddled her body and began repeatedly punching her.
Diaz, who posted the video on YouTube, was disturbed by what he witnessed.
“He basically got on top of her … it’s basically a UFC ground-and-pound move … full force, punching her in the head … in the head,” Diaz said.
Another man soon ran up to the officer and appeared to be helping him restrain the woman, the video showed.
The video did not capture the circumstances that led up to the incident.
Still, Diaz believed it was clearly a case of excessive force.
“There is no way you can justify that,” he said.


Late Thursday, CHP spokeswoman Sgt. Denise Joslin issued the following statement:
“The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is aware of the video and we are looking into the incident. As a matter of policy, every time there is a use of force by our officers, there is a review conducted to determine whether the use of force was appropriate.” Joslin said.
“That will be done in this case, however, since there is an ongoing investigation, it would be premature to comment on this specific video segment without reviewing the entire incident,” she said.

AJ also has a copy:

The video clip shows a woman walking away from the police officer before he grabs her, throws her to the ground and pummels her around the head and face eleven times. The incident happened on the Eastbound Interstate 10 Freeway near La Brea Avenue.
California Highway Patrol told NBC 4 that it, “Would be premature to comment on the video without reviewing the entire incident,” which suggests that authorities think there may be circumstances under which it is perfectly justifiable for a burly male police officer to beat a woman around the head almost a dozen times.​
The man who shot the footage, David Diaz, said the woman appeared to be intoxicated or mentally ill.​
“No one condones…when he gets on top of a woman, and this is a big officer, and he punches her repeatedly,” Diaz said, adding, “She could have died out there.”​
Another eyewitness said that woman was “shoeless, terrified and did not pose a threat.”​
The CHP has refused to release any information about the woman or the officer involved in the incident.​
The woman should probably consider herself lucky if she avoids a charge of attempted murder. As William Norman Grigg explains, that’s precisely the situation facing Florida man Livingston Manners after he was dragged from his vehicle and thrown to the ground by Officer Ronald Cannella for running a stop light.​
Manners disgracefully dared to defend himself as he was punched in the face and choked by Cannella.​
Manners also faces the bizarre-sounding charge of “resisting without violence,” suggesting that the only way to avoid being deemed a felon under such circumstances is to allow a police officer to beat you into a bloody pulp without even raising your arms to shield your face.​
“Citizens who aren’t killed in such encounters
can expect to be punished
for the impudence they display by surviving,”

writes Grigg.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The California Highway Patrol responded Thursday to a YouTube video showing an officer punching a woman along the side of the freeway.The CHP officer is shown punching the woman on the ground more than 11 times in the face.
She doesn’t appear in the video clip to resist.
On Thursday, the CHP issued a statement that said: “The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is aware of the video and we are looking into the incident. As a matter of policy, every time there is a use of force by our officers, there is a review conducted to determine whether the use of force was appropriate. That will be done in this case, however, since there is an ongoing investigation, it would be premature to comment on this specific video segment without reviewing the entire incident.”
The confrontation was caught on cellphone video by a man driving by.
On the YouTube video, he seems shocked that the officer is hitting the woman. What started the confrontation and what triggered the rough takedown and arrest is unclear.
The video was shot along the 10 Freeway near La Brea Avenue early Tuesday evening.
When the video starts, the officer is seen trying to detain the woman. She gets a few steps away from him, but he gets her to the ground.
He briefly struggles with her before repeatedly punching her in the face.
After a few moments, a plainclothes officer enters the picture and helps the CHP officer put the woman in handcuffs.
The man who shot the video identifies himself as a music producer who lives in Los Angeles.
David Diaz told CBS2′s Rachel Kim he was horrified to have witnessed the confrontation.
He called it a definite case of police brutality.
Diaz said he saw the barefoot woman walking around the off-ramp when he noticed a CHP officer chase her around a truck.
He said the punches were “excessive and brutal.”
“He just pounded her,” Diaz said. “If you look at the video, there are 15 hits. To the head, and not just simple jabs. These are blows to the head. Blows. Really serious blows. And this is ridiculous to me.”
He added, “I find it hard to believe there [was] no other remedy in this situation.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California Highway Patrol has vowed to carry out a thorough investigation after a video emerged of one of its officers repeatedly punching a pinned down woman on the side of a Los Angeles freeway.

The woman had been walking on Interstate 10 west of downtown Los Angeles, endangering herself and people in traffic, and the officer was trying to restrain her, CHP Assistant Chief Chris O'Quinn said at a news conference. O'Quinn said the woman had begun walking off the freeway but returned when the confrontation occurred.

The video shows the woman struggling and trying to sit up while the officer punches her in the face and head until an off-duty law enforcement officer appears and helps him handcuff her.

Passing Driver David Diaz recorded the Tuesday incident and provided it to media outlets including The Associated Press. He told the AP in a phone interview Friday that he arrived as the woman was walking off the freeway. He said she turned around only after the officer shouted something to her.

"He agitated the situation more than helped it," said Diaz, who started filming soon after.

The officer is on administrative leave while the patrol investigates. He has not been identified.

The video caught the attention of local civil rights leaders, who expressed shock and outrage at their own news conference.

"Speaking for the women of this community, we are angry, we are upset," said Lita Herron of the Youth Advocacy Coalition.

O'Quinn said the CHP would answer community concerns, and that an investigative team already has been assembled and has begun its work.

"We are known as an agency that really polices itself," O'Quinn said.

It's doubtful that day will come.

Three years ago tonight Fullerton police beat Kelly Thomas to death -- two of them could have at least been sentenced to the minimum possible time in prison or probation (the usual cop sentence), but the jury let them off.

As with that case, the worst that might happen is the CHP officer could get fired, if enough hell is raised (the whole thing will probably be forgotten by Monday).
