You may have seen the video of the Indiana cop shoving a paraplegic, tipping him over from the curb onto the street. That was bad enough.
You may even have already seen the video of the incident alluded to in the title, where a California Highway Patrolman mercilessly beats a woman by the side of the freeway, which came out about the same time. Here it is if you haven't.
But what we didn't know until now was much of anything about the woman. It's coming out bit by bit in the Los Angeles Times, and I think we can honestly say CHP has stooped to a new low.
"She's not just some animal," said attorney Caree Harper, who declined to name the woman. "She has an aunt, a sister, a brother, a father and a great-grandchild." ...
The woman is being housed at a mental health facility at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital in South Los Angeles and doctors are not allowing the family to see her, Harper said.
The woman seems to have been found walking in traffic by the CHP officer who then began beating her repeatedly, swinging his fists into her head. CHP claims, almost miraculously, that she was not hurt. I have my doubts, but here's the quote:
CHP officials told reporters at a Friday news conference that she was not injured and that she was undergoing a mental health evaluation.
how can she not have sustained any damage as far as mental health evaluation, take another look at that video and see why a grown man beat her senseless with no resistance continually his buddy did nothing to stop him, I see Rodney King all over again. this cop is obviously sick and a dangerous menace to society. Black people aren't a menace to society, society is a menace to Black people.
what ever happened to the cop in I think New Mexico shooting at a mother and car full of kids???
