1. Roid Rage.

Every cop needs to pee in the cup.

2. Holy Crap!!

Did she whack her head on the way down? And what was he doing messing with her hair anyway?

What city is this?

[canetoad]

15. Notice the blood?

Right hand side. Wasn't there before the slam.

3. Crying for our children.

Thank you for your post.

4. Pigs

[sheshe2]

10. I agree.

Abuse of a young man or woman is beneath contempt. I guess they got a real chuckle out of using excessive force.

They are pigs, you are correct.

[George II]

18. Yet some revel in depicting such violence, especially against women and young girls.

[sheshe2]

27. Yes.

[Lordquinton]

29. This is a confusing statement

What do you mean?

mothers arms. Priorities you know. Or whatever. There is so much outrage to be had.

[Lordquinton]

31. That must be it

I can't see someone bringing up petty stuff in a topic of such importance.

[ehrnst]

36. Yes, that is so common, isn't it? WAY too common, really.

Right here on DU, even.

[Autumn]

28. Disgusting.

5. OMG, OMG, OMG 😱

6. I always think of how bad things must have been before video monitors....

we installed in most jails. The phone calls and letters I exchanged through several years with a few guys that went to prison confirm this common malfeasance.

Let's hope Democrats reform the police and detention center security!....... .......

7. This is Calgary Canada

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-police-alex-dunn-assault-trial-video-1.5777524

A disturbing video showing a Calgary police officer slamming a handcuffed woman into the ground face-first has been released by a judge at the constable's trial.

Const. Alex Dunn is on trial on a charge of assault causing bodily harm stemming from an arrest in 2017.

Dalia Kafi, who is Black and was 26 years old at the time, had been arrested on the accusation she breached a court-ordered curfew. She was at the CPS arrest processing unit when she was taken to the ground in what one 30-year officer says was the "worst use of force" he'd ever seen.

Kafi, whose head can be seen bouncing off the concrete floor, needed surgery for a broken nose and stitches in her lip.

On Monday, provincial court Judge Michelle Christopher agreed to release the video exhibit to members of the media, including CBC News.

11. Thanks for posting. I want to hear the results of his trial. He really needs to

go to jail for this and at least lose his job.

[BGBD]

8. All the facts on this one...

It's a woman named Dalia Kafi. She required surgery for a broken nose and stitches to her lip.

It happened in Calgary, Canada.

The cops name is Alex Dunn.

It happened in December, 2017.

He is currently on trial for it. He has not been fired, but it working in an "administrative role"

9. god it looks like blood and maybe teeth or something

on the floor, her face is bloodied I think. Her head was slammed on that metal looking wall.
this is a high crime committed by the cops. I hope she wasn't hurt but it looks like she was slammed into that metal looking wall

[DFW]

12. And after he has been fired and charged with assault

Someone twice his size needs to throw HIS head against a concrete floor.

[doc03]

13. She is in handcuffs. It does look like the other officers were trying to help her nt

[JI7]

19. If they were trying to help her they would have the one who did that to her arrested

[doc03]

20. True but cops will cover for other cops. If they would arrest him the whole

police force would come down on them and if they got into a jam they would get no backing. Just like the cowards
in congress scared to death Trump will tweet something about them.

[JI7]

21. So they aren't helping anyone and are part of the problem

[doc03]

23. They sure are part of the problem.

[smirkymonkey]

14. WTF?

That is just sheer police brutality! What did she do to warrant that kind of treatment? She was handcuffed. Nothing she could have done or said would have called for such abuse! He could have killed her. I can't believe he is still employed. His ass should have been fired immediately for that. I am so sick of this world sometimes.

[radius777]

16. This is attempted murder.

This thug cop deserves to be locked up for a long time.

Cops live above the law because the unions protect them.

And they know the cameras are recording but don't care. Imagine how bad it is when there are no cameras.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. People have died from a punch to the head.

I'm grateful that she's alive after such a forceful blow to her head!

[George II]

17. That happened three years ago and the video...

... is evidence from the officer's trial.

[JI7]

22. What ended up happening to the cop ?

[George II]

26. He's on trial right now. Don't know why it took almost three years though. That video...

...was entered into evidence at the trial.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. WTF?!

Why did the Canadian cop approach her in the first place?! He seemed to touch her hair initially for whatever reason, assuming he had ANY reason other than invading her space!

[Silent3]

33. According to an article about this case...

...she was waiting for her picture to be taken, after the terrible, awful crime of being out after a curfew.

She was wearing a scarf, and I can only guess that the cop wanted it off for the picture, she was reluctant to have him take it off, and he apparently was enraged by that (my take on what I read combined with the video, not necessarily what happened).

[Buckeye_Democrat]

34. Ugh!

He could've just told her to take it off, then reminded her that non-compliance would delay her release even longer.

Smh!

Thanks for the clarification, btw.

[Silent3]

32. Looks like the Canadians have some work to do too

Although I don't know what their overall stats are for police violence.

[ironflange]

35. I live in Calgary, and find this disgusting

Cop says he thought she was going to hit him with the handcuffs. Come on.
