Just how anyone can condone the act of these two bullies is beyond me,or just re-affirms my belief that a large chunk of society is simply brainwashed.This is an act of thuggery nothing more nothing less....these cops are supposed to be Peace officers....begs the question what kinda sociopath trained these numbnuts?

I posted this to another thread, but seabag pointed us to this one and I don't want my post to be lost in a closed thread.

WHY did they take her out of the car on-scene once they had her cuffed

No need for any of us acting like Chicken Little. If the courts find he did something wrong then he deserves to be punished. However, I refuse to get my feathers ruffled over one incident in which this lady CLEARLY was being obnoxious and uncooperative.

The cops word is worth more than hers in court. Courts have a history of flat out ignoring the evidence and taking the cops word instead. If a judge sees that video all the cop has to say was "The camera didn't show her threatening movements, I felt in danger and acted according to my training". That one sentence gets him out of anything. He could have started kicking her in the face on camera afterwards and no judge would convict.

Another day and a new story.
You all better behave and lie down on the street immediately so they don't have to smash you down like they did to her.

There are too many "new stories". In rare instances over the past several decades, people have started to push back.
I can foresee a time when resistance will no longer be rare. Want to bet we will see people analyzing footage and tactics, setting out some "rabbits" and taking some serious payback? We had a front row seat to this exact scenario in Iraq.
I can't help but remember when the Iraqi resistance lured major quantities of troops/police to a building -- and then blew the building with pre-wired explosives....

You know the 'sucker punch game' and you know that it can be deadly if someone hits their head on the pavement.
Here is something that, in my opinion, is scarcely any different.
Amazingly, not only does she not die but, she stays conscious and has the wherewithal to say "I'm gonna sue your ass!" Let's hope she does.
I think we have all had just about enough of this, these are not isolated events.
TPD subjected woman to 'police brutality'

I have read countless bizarre stories about the American police - I have to say, I cannot fathom how, why and where, did they get their brutality from. And how did they get to become policemen in the first place.
