video shows the moment a mother was pinned to the ground by police officers and repeatedly punched

[Liberal_in_LA]

Cindy Hahn, 40, is suing the city of Carlsbad and several police officers
She claims an officer told her to 'mind her own f****** business' after she asked a simple question
The same officer later pulled her over and pushed her to the ground
Video recorded at the scene shows her screaming 'help' as one officer holds her down while the other brutally beats her
She says the ordeal left her with permanent memory loss and brain trauma


In July this year, the San Diego District Attorney dropped felony charges against Hahn for battery on a police officer and resisting arrest – which her attorney Mark Geragos says was due to the video.
However, she is going ahead with the lawsuit due to the ‘senseless act of egregious police brutality’ and wants the police officers involved fired and reformed. Court documents alleged that they lied about the incident under oath during Hahn’s criminal proceedings.
Hahn’s father Mike Dalton, who has retired from the San Fernando Police Department, said the incident should never have happened
‘There was no need to punch her in the face,’ he said.

2. Cops should automatically be tested for steroids when they act like this.

3. Cops are supposed to know a zillion take down and restraint moves

a closed fist to the face while on the ground is not one of them.

7. This seems to have started far past the time when they would be thinking of proper procedure.

She called in a complaint on a no emergency line, and this happened a few minutes later. This appears to be in retaliation. If her account is correct, then she has very strong grounds to sue.

5. " ... battery on a police officer"

So I guess she was accused of striking the poor officer's fist with her face?

That must be what it was since the other gorilla had her pinned down.

6. That's torture.

One man holds her steady, her hands cuffed behind her back, so the other one can freely punch her head.

What country is this?

8. There are a couple of cops right there who should have had a pee test that day

Fury like this at a non resisting civilian is not normal. I've seen roid rage and this looks just like it.

9. More info.why officer kenyatte Valentine was angry

According to Hahn’s complaint, on July 31, 2013, she and her children were leaving a birthday party when they came upon a vehicle which was unoccupied with its alarm blaring.

Police cruisers with their lights flashing surrounded the vehicle, but officers were allowing the alarm to blare. When Hahn — whose father is a police officer — asked an officer on duty why police weren’t shutting off the car alarm, the officer — identified in court documents as Officer Kenyatte Valentine — reportedly told her to mind her “own fucking business.”

Hahn used her cell phone to call the police non-emergency line to complain about Officer Valentine’s behavior. As she drove away, Valentine pulled her over claiming she wasn’t wearing her seatbelt. He and another officer pulled her from the vehicle and pinned her to the ground.
