.....wow.....wow.......slamming a woman head-first into the ground while her hands are cuffed behind her...what could she have done to provoke that?

Doesn't excuse it but, you're an idiot if you get out of your car when pulled over by the cops.

We will investigate and then do nothing.

...was stopped by LAPD for allegedly talking on her cell phone while driving.

Bout time.

You are an idiot if you think getting out of your car is a bad idea. People shouldn't have anything to fear from a police officer. They are supposed to be helpful in any situation. Statements like that of schlub push things in the wrong direction.

To my @swedishfriend,

In the US, for many years, people have been told to not get out of their cars when stopped by the police. I agree that the police shouldn't be trained to perceive that small thing as a threat--but they have been. I don't believe that @schlub meant that anyone, ever, getting out of their cars is necessarily stupid. I think (hope) he meant that because of this training--and the widespread knowledge of this training--that jumping out of the car wasn't the smartest thing to do.
(of course, I could be wrong--and I fully expect to be jumped from all sides now)

We create our reality and future with every action and word no matter how small. I was merely pointing out that calling people idiots for doing something natural will make things worse. Assuming that it is not safe to leave your car to talk to an employee of yours will for sure make it less safe to do so in the future.

The act of exiting the vehicle did not create this fuckup of a mishandled situation...if that were the case then the reaction to her movements would have been far more swift than whats shown.

This is just an asshole cop being a total fucking asshole for the sake of being an asshole.

"I wear a badge, the law? I am the law...and today im feeling mighty authoritarian".

Nearly 2 minutes after the first encounter (which would be hard enough to explain in its own right), when she has been cuffed and searched....they slam her into the ground again...hands bound behind her back.

This is not excusable in ANY circumstance.
