Edward Krawetz, a police officer in Lincoln, Rhode Island, was suspended in March for 10 years after he reportedly kicked Donna Levesque while she was handcuffed.

Officer Krawetz was caught on video kicking Levesque in the face, while she sat on a curb, handcuffed, in May 2009.



He claimed it was self-defense, in January, during a battery trial, because Levesque kicked his leg, according WPRI-TV.

Officer Krawetz did not go to prison, but was ordered into counseling and given a 10-year suspension by the judge.
