Yay Cops.... Yes, Another Beating Caught on Tape... CHP Beats Woman Down

Last edited Fri Jul 4, 2014, 08:17 PM - Edit history (3)



* NSFW language

news report sans harsh language



A California Highway Patrol officer was caught on tape punching a woman on the side of a Los Angeles highway on Tuesday. The video posted on YouTube shows the cop pursuing the woman on foot past an I-10 on-ramp. Those recording it can be heard laughing at first as the incident appeared to be somewhat bizarre -- lady wandering near freeway and truck pulling away.

But the laughs quickly subside as the cop grabs the woman, who is either pulled down or falls to the ground, and then repeatedly punches her. CHP says the officer asked the woman to stop, but she refused and continued to walk away from him.

_______


Because walking away from an officer means you deserved to have your head beaten in at full force... ya know?



** You gotta love the Los Angeles Times.... and how they start to frame their story.... **

"A motorist used his cell phone to capture what appears to be a struggle between a woman and a California Highway Patrol officer on the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles."

I'm beginning to think this is Roid Rage, abusive use of steroids to feed the perceived need get stronger.
Putting the military equipment and militaristic thinking being pumped into our peace officers aside for a moment; I'm talking about the explosive and violent bouts of anger so often seen.

The police are not supposed to judge suspected offenders, that function belongs to the Justice Department. They also are not the dispensers of public punishments, that is the job of the Corrections Department. The basic functions of law enforcement is to investigate crimes, gather evidence, and present suspected breakers of laws to the Justice Department with the minimum amount of force needed. If, due to psychotic rages caused by a systemic substance abuse problem, law enforcement can no longer follow the minimum force, public punishment, and determination of guilt guidelines. We have a huge fucking problem.

and as usual, the cop will probably be vindicated and will get a paid vacation.
the woman will end up with medical bills.

Don't you love the official report? What objectivity!

1) She could have been deaf, they weren't going to know at that point.

2) She was not reacting any other way outside of protecting the blows to her head

3) No wonder she can't give her name… getting your brains knocked around has that sort of effect.

CHIP should have it's ass ripped out for this.

the cops, she refused a lawful order to stop, talked backed to massa, struggled while on the ground, so deserved what she got, RIGHT???? This one is worse than the professor take down in arizona. What is wrong with .....folks? She could've been handcuffed and taken in by these two big mofo's. Blacks just can't disobey white cops. They will get beat down, if this had been a black male, he would be dead now. No doubt in my mind. Not because of race though, right? Heading toward something, what is anyone's guess. This has really enraged the fuck out of me.

My thinking is the dudes with those state licensed uniforms are just more nuts with guns. Who they work for and what they are supposed to be doing has no effect when they are operating in lizard brain mode.

(snip) The instincts of serpent are also very helpful because they can alert us to danger before we consciously perceive it - we get a "bad vibe" about a person or place and avoid it without knowing why, or we sense that a police officer with a radar gun is up the road, so we take our foot off the gas pedal.

Serpent is an essential state to master, as we have to be effective in the physical world and take care of business in a practical way. But when we allow our need to survive at all costs to dominate, we're not always so pleasant to be around. We reach for the most literal signs of security... ... We coil up and contract, striking out before the other guy can clobber us; we amass weapons and build fences. In fact archeologists found excavating neolithic sites have found that the earliest defenses built by humans weren't designed to protect them from physical enemies but from the invisible ghouls and dangers they perceived from the level of the serpent.

I am sure that animal was trained in Tennessee because only these thugs and criminals in Tennessee who wear badges does that. Poor people and minorities wake-up every morning not knowing if this day will be the one that Tennessee beats or kills them it is that bad.Kids playing jump rope in Tennessee have come up with a new jump rope song and Tennessee police don't like it.they got it from the Freddy Kruger movies here it is, One-two Tennessee police coming for you-3-4 going to beat you some more-5-6 going to beat you with a stick-7-8 they shot little girl named Kate-9-10 going to beat you again.One Tennessee cop said it should be banned and he was going to write the Governor.
