"I'm going to punt you in your pussy."
These were the words of LAPD Officer Mary O'Callaghan to Alesia Thomas. Handcuffed with her legs restrained, Alesia can be seen getting punched in the throat by Officer O'Callaghan who then delivered on her promise and kicked her directly in her groin - repeatedly. This was nearly 3 years ago.
It was recorded on the dashcam.
As O'Callaghan jabbed at the woman's throat with her hand, Thomas looked into the camera with wide eyes. The recording captured Thomas, who also had her legs tied with a nylon hobble restraint, repeatedly saying, “I can’t.”
The video showed O’Callaghan raise her boot and strike Thomas, whose body shook in response. A few minutes later, Thomas’ eyes closed and her head fell backward, the video showed. The recording then cut off. She died at the hospital that evening.
that doesn't seem like your everyday racial attacking it sounds more of a personal symbolic attack the words kicking her in the vagina sounds like retaliatory and over and over sounds like punishment for some perceived wrong not by Ms. Thomas but possibly another Black woman either to her or a male figure in her life. she was definitely in that zone cameras be damned.
3 years ago and she's now going to trial did it take that long to create a defense that the camera shows is indefensible. the article does not say if she was on one of those police "kill a Black person get a paid vacation" they call it administrative suspension with pay. again the camera didn't lie MS Thomas died within hours of assault why 3 years???????
