FL officer caught on camera punching 14-year-old girl

CORAL SPRINGS, FL (WSVN/CNN) - A Florida mother has hired a civil attorney and a criminal attorney after her 14-year-old daughter was beaten by police outside a mall in Coral Springs.

. . .

“To say that the police officer was justified to punch her continuously while he has his knee on her back with her hands under her belly, the video speaks for itself,” Moldof said. “That’s the truth, right there.”

To attempt to debate this video in defense of the beating meted out to the 14 year old person unlucky enough to be caught at the mall while black is offensive. It doesn't speak well for the defender. J.L.
