Feds Sue Officer Who Beat 44-Year-Old Woman Unconscious

Tough guy beating up on a woman didn't plan on their being video. Is this what protect and serve is supposed to mean ?

Typical cops.

What else is new? The only reason he's not getting away with it is because it was caught on tape

Definitely excessive force...but did the writer of this article watch the video? She was slammed once to the floor but not "beaten". The officer was apparently trying to make her back away and she was being defiant(looked drunk too). Then he tried to restrain her and went way too far with the body slam.

I think the article fails to mention that Marquez struck the officer, and appeared to disobey lawful orders. From the video it is apparent that the officer picked Marquez up, then dropped her. He didn't slam her face into the floor. This is blown way out of proportion...had Marquez done as she was told, she would not have been hurt.

Looked to me as if she was starting with the officer. Looks like he told her do something and she pushed him away.

Lawyers will get rich.
Then she can drink herself to death too.
Sad on the little bit of video broadcast the other cops don't seem to
intervene.
A drunk woman does not deserve to be
slam dunked,a light kick to the side
of the knee would have disarmed her
martial arts style.
Alcoholism is supposed to be a disease
right? Could have been handled(Pardon
the pun) better.

I want to add for the people who think
this is OK this Woman faces possible
Parkinson's disease or other terrible
brain injury which can take 10 years
to manifest from the throw down.

So do lots of other people,men included, who have been victims of police brutality.

This kind of thing happens all the time.. Fortunetly for this woman.. There was a camera there to record the event.

Stop Fighing cops ... If no one faught back against arresting officers these pages would never exist

Why is it that whenever these types of brutality cases come up, there are always comments from people who say that the victim somehow violated procedure or disobeyed the officer and somehow deserved it. That is insane. Regardless of what the woman did, she did not deserve to get body slammed on her face. Cops go too far but certain members of society can't seem to recognize that. Only when they are confronted with a police situation and receive that type of treatment will they understand the magnitude of the brutality problem that we all have to face.

Your a moron. I wish you would get bodyslammed.

How did I know this was going to be a woman of color.

The woman was found innocent of trumpted up chagres, here neice was injured, she was standing over her, there is no law on the books that this woman was in violation of for the police to slam her on the floor causing those injuries.

The police had no right to put his hands on the woman at all, I am a retired police officer, the only time you touch a citizen is to render help or to arrest.

She was attempting to administer aid to her relative she has a basic right to aid or review aid distributed to her relative. What law is that a violation of, there is no reason for those offices to have touched her at all, that is a violation of her civil rights. Because he ordered her to move doesn't make that order a lawful order, as the courts have demonstrated in the finding that women innocent of those trumped up charges.

This was similar to the Mayor of that Maryland town who's dogs were killed by the police department in Prince George County.

In America police officers enforce laws, they don't make them up as they go alone. As evidenced by the finding of this woman innocent.

The Police Officer in Russia may have be in the Right, a Police Officer in America is in violation of this Woman's Civil Rights an should be charged with a criminal violation. He had no right to touch that woman at all.
