A new police brutality video shows a California Highway Patrol officer repeatedly beating a woman around the head as she lay flat on her back.
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.
As usual, if we’re going to be charged with the crime, let’s at least DO the crime.
Or, we can arrange alibis by having other friends and “pillars of the community” “deal with” the problems for us.
If there’s no witness, there’s no crime, right?

Here in Australia, we saw 2 days ago the Indiana wheelchair video, and the next day the california beating. 2 in 2 days are sure giving Aussies a real look at amerikan police brutality. I’ve also been doing my part to tell people this is how real amerkan cops now act and that this is being approved of by the government.
My these yankee cops are real fat asses. No shortage of beef there.
Hi to5,
Pretty disgusting, isn’t it?
The “profile” is just as you’ve noted. The typical American cop is a fat – often obese – pig-eyed, no neck creature that looks like a Down Syndrome case, but lacking the innate gentleness of the typical Down Syndrome victim.
“resisting without violence,” means that she physically struggled, such as not letting the officer place her hands behind her or pulled away, but didn’t try to strike , stab, scratch, bite etc.
Like laying on the ground, flailing about like a fish outta water..
I’m not going to defend the cop but I would surely like to see video of the entire encounter instead of a few seconds clip of the end.
For those of you who haven’t had your lives “enriched” by experiencing the joys of diversity let me clue you in on some realities. Black people today exhibit a sense of entitlement that needs to be experienced to be believed. They also have poor future time orientation and poor impulse control. Their inclination to violence cannot be overstated. One antisocial behavior widely practiced by american blacks is to walk on roadways and obstruct traffic.
Now to hypothetically connect the dots. Black woman walks on the roadway, encounters a law enforcement officer, refuses to cooperate, decides not to let him arrest her, “resists without violence”, cop initiates lawful use of force to effect arrest, is unable to place her hands behind her and loses his cool and pounds the shit out of the fat loud self entitled white hating piece of shit.
For every time I’ve had to steer around or wait for some piece of worthless black trash to drag their ass out of the way,( hundreds) I have to admit I’d like to see a fair number of them beaten to a pulp.
