This happened recently in Westminster, Orange County, CA, right next to Huntington Beach. The TMZ article was published today.

Orange County is one of the most conservative counties in CA, and known to harbor a lot of racists.

The cop has been placed on administrative leave and is under investigation by the Orange County DA.

COPS STOP FELLOW OFFICER FROM PUNCHING HANDCUFFED WOMAN
Punching Cop Placed On Paid Leave
4:17 PM PT -- The Westminster Police officer seen on video punching a woman has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal affairs investigation. The WPD Internal Affairs Division is also in communication with the Orange County DA’s Office, which will evaluate the officer’s use of force and determine if criminal charges are warranted.

As for what brought cops out in the first place. Cops say they got a call about a female Hispanic adult assaulting an adult Asian woman who had tried to rescue a dog running in the street.

Cops say when they showed up the Hispanic adult exhibited signs of being under the influence and, while waiting for paramedics, the woman was not compliant and she became combative with officers. While trying to control her, a WPD Officer “used force and struck [the woman] two times in the face with his first. Two WPD Officers immediately intervened and deescalated the situation.” The woman was taken to a nearby hospital and later booked into Orange County jail.

1. So was that a good cop who stopped it or

Did he just realize he was being filmed and it wouldn't look good?

Cynical? Yes

4. Well, I guess I don't care.

Once the bad cops learn that their antics will be filmed and they held to account, behavior will change. The bad ones will leave or not become cops.

Might be the best thing phone cameras have ever done.

5. That's what I think too. However, I would not pull over on a lonely rural road.

Body cams, surveillance cameras, and citizen phones will stop most of the abuse. And it protects police too. And, other officers will avoid being associated with abuse.
