LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles Police Department commanding officer has been removed amid an internal investigation into a videotaped beating in which officers tackled a handcuffed registered nurse to the ground, police Chief Charlie Beck said Wednesday.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

According to c&sd's theory(s), she obviously had it coming.  She should be thankful she wasn't raped!!
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Well don't feel bad for the cop, I'm sure the Chicago PD will be happy to take him.

The second "toss to the ground"  was completely gratuitous and abusive. Se was in cuffs, and about to be placed in the back seat. She probably gave the cop "lip" so he plowed the pavement with her face.. He WANTED to hurt her.

What the hell kind of policing turns a "talking on phone while driving" situation into an MMA demo?

Cops who abuse their position need to be put in prison more often, because the impunity they take for granted seems to leave very little decency in police culture anymore.

I was thinking that, but the video really doesn't show what she may have done, such as kicking the door, or some other move to warrant the toss to the ground.

In the end, she will get a settlement, the probie cop will be gone and the older one will be retired. Then she will sue them for a violation of her civil rights and win that one.

The real losers of this whole thing will be the taxpayers of Los Angeles.

I used to think in those terms but have come to the realization that the taxpayers of <insert city> have been complacent enough to allow such thugs acts to creep into their law enforcement and should sent the tab for their 'public servants' behaving badly.

What a lot of people don't seem to comprehend is that the time to open your piehole is in front of the judge. As far as I know, cursing at street level police officers doing their job seldom results in them voiding the ticket.  =|

Good point - maybe, eventually, voters will come to realize that voting for the wrong people can be expensive.

As for her original offense . . . I don't like people who talk or text on a cell phone while driving. But I absolutely detest laws that prohibit it for us, while explicitly making an exception for police & other government employees; right here in the Austin area there have been several instances of police running people over or causing a collision while they're playing with their in-car computer (same distraction as cell phone use) and . . . nothing much happens.

Can't do much about it, but if I'm ever on a jury where someone is being prosecuted for violating a law that exempts government employees, I'm more likely to hang the jury than convict.

This. 

Cop buddy of mine can hardly stand to associate with other cops.  He has a select few cop friends who are not drunk pervs, not thugs, and don't try to sleep with other cops' wives.



As far as the OP, my RN wife can hardly get a ticket.  Cops see her scrubs and where she works and give her a warning.

In my view, those two so called peace officers should be stuck on a desk for the rest of their careers.  There is no reason why two men VS one woman, no matter what her mouth spewed, or even if she resisted a bit when they first laid hands on her to be as violent with her as was displayed on that video.  I'd like to know what she did to cause them to lay hands on her in the first place.  Because if she did not commit an arrestable offense, and smart mouthing police isn't a crime, they have no business touching her, period.  If a police officer lays hands on you, you are technically and officially under arrest!!   If those two officers can't take a little smart mouth, they should not be on the street.  Their job is to defuse situations and follow the law.

What I saw in the video was disgusting no matter what the circumstance, mainly as there certainly could not have been any reason for doing as they did.

I'm pretty sure most of you know that I was in LE, I respect the job, served well and still hang now and then with guys I worked with, so I think I can make certain comments without being accused of cop bashing.

I'd mock both those guys into going to work as a mall ninja if I was LAPD.

It appears to be a 22 year veteran of LAPD, showing a 10 month rookie just exactly what you could get away with - before everyone started carrying cell phone video cameras.  Or...maybe they thought she was Lindsey Lohan.

I am always astounded that the names of the officers is held back.  If what they did was not justified it was assault and regular old citizens get their name put into the public record when they are under investigation for such crimes.

There are a bunch of us that don't have much experience with getting tickets or even stopped for that matter.
My last speeding ticket, or any other moving violation was September 1981. I did get a bogus inspection ticket in '94 but I beat that and got an apology from the court. The other three times I've been pulled over in the last 30+ years , 2 were for burned out lights and the last time was one of the local yokels thought I was stealing my work van.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
