It must be racism...

I am simply appalled.

In this day and age, WHEN will officers learn that it is simply unacceptable to arrest and restrain black people? What makes the story of a police officer punching a restrained detainee even worse is that she was a WOMAN AND A MOTHER! What was this officer thinking?

Over the next day or so we are bound to hear the usual excuses: "You weren't there", "She was violent" blah blah blah. The simple truth is that you don't need to have been there to instantly grasp exactly what happened from just five seconds of footage on the morning news. You don't need to know the officers to know that the puncher is a white racist bully who does this sort of thing all the time. You don't need to know the woman to know she is a delicate and gentle soul who did not deserve this terrible beating.

In such cases, there is always dim possibility that the victim might turn out to have done something wrong. However, this particular woman was not only just out of her teens but also a loving mother, so I don't think that is very likely, do you?

And here, you can see the terrible results of the eight massive punches she was given...
