Rough arrest?
This was over cell phone incident?
They way they slammed her to the pavement, could have easily killed this woman.
This looks really bad.

So will whites riots over this like the blacks rioted over Rodney King?
Permanent scars on the face tend to land huge settlements...especially if she can establish she’s an aspiring actress, model, etc.
The beatings are uncalled for. However, what is it with women and cell phones? Can’t they shut up for 15 minutes and drive?
Yeah, she was mouthing off, and that’s not warranted, but getting pulled over for talking on the phone while driving!! Only California. Tell me again that we are free in America. We are NOT free people in America.
It’s just lucky she dodn’t sustain a serious brain injury from her head slamming the ground. Also, she’s lucky her dog wasn’t in her car!
Ahh, the ever-popular resisting arrest. For swearing at the officers? Lord, had I done that to everyone who swore at me in my brief LEO career 30 years ago, there would have been few people left in town. Guess maybe I and fellow officers back then were not so thin-skinned. Haven’t lived until you’ve been called a pig by a crowd of anti-war demonstrators and that was about the nicest thing we were called by them.
Even her attorney admits she did some things wrong. Number one, stay in the car when told to do so. Not only does it slow down these things, but it is for your protection (and the officers), to keep you from wandering around in traffic. But two big ol po-po slamming a vociferous and irate woman to the ground? C’mon, you were trained to be better than that. So, the first take down was excessive but she probably (as we used to say) bought and paid for that one. The second one? Inexcusable, no reason for it. So she’s still swearing. She’s cuffed and in custody. Take her to jail to cool off. Be professional, don’t be so thin-skinned, and don’t feed the jackbooted thug stereotype. Idiots and they deserve more than they’re likely to get.
Otherwise, nothing changes for the better. It just becomes a reflection of the worst side or our human nature.
You know what they say about the corruption of absolute power.
These alleged "LEO's" don't care about such things...
... prolly a resume enhancement for promotion...

Sad but true...
LAPD (Espec. Foothills Division...)
Just THUGS in uniform...
Nothing honorable here...
Just sayin'
No reason to do that. Not even once, but this was twice. For every assault video captured there are plenty more not captured on video. This has to stop. They need to pay a price and be prosecuted for malicious wounding or some such offense that will make certain they never wear the uniform again.
It’s appalling. We don’t live in Nazi Germany. This is not Russia.
I don’t have any sympathy for this type of person. It’s hard to tell exactly what happened but the first tackle looks like she was resisting after trying to get back into her car. How do the cops know she isn’t going to flee and start a high speed chase? She’s apparently already overly irate over a simple citation so I wouldn’t rule it out. I’m not so sure about the second tackle, it might have been excessive.
Either way, she should have shut her yap, got the ticket, and disputed it in court. She doesn’t get a free ride because she’s female.
At the site, the pic shows that both of her shoulders have abrasions as well.
This is completely unacceptable, but I fear that it will continue for too long, before the punishment of the offending officers becomes strong enough to influence the behavior of other bad LEOs.
May God keep watch.
