Yikes: Cop Caught On Video Beating Homeless Woman With Baton While She's Pinned
Man, some of these cops don't understand the simple definition of excessive force.
Any man who beats a smaller, defenseless woman like this deserves to be in jail!
Police in Georgia have reopened an internal affairs investigation into a use of force complaint after a disturbing video emerged showing an officer beating a homeless woman inside a convenience store last month.
The Dekalb County Police Department on Tuesday announced it will be revisiting the June 4 incident after a local news station aired a bystander’s cellphone video depicting the officer striking 38-year-Katie McCrary at least 10 times with his metal baton.
In the video, a witness is heard urging the woman off camera, 'Katie, stop resisting, stop resisting, stop resisting,' as the cop delivers blow after blow.
McCrary could be seen at one point grabbing the nightstick as the officer pins her to the floor face down, with his knee pressed into her back.
He repeatedly shouts at the woman, 'let it go, or Imma shoot you.'
The officer restrains McCrary's hands behind her back as she repeatedly demands, 'What did I do? What did I do?'
The video ends with the cop leading the woman out of the gas station store in Decatur and escorting her to his patrol car parked outside. -(Daily Mail UK)
Hopefully he gets what he deserves, but we know how this will probably end...with him keeping his job. SMH
