Regardless of her crime/no-crime, do you think the amount of force they used i.e. the punch to the face and knees to the back, were necessary to detain and arrest this unarmed, out of shape woman?
These are in-shape men (plural).
no, but given my exempt status as a middle aged white male who gets a wink and a nod from every cop i've ever encountered, i can't say why they would choose to beat the shite out of a nice white woman with kids in the car whose only crime was not wearing a seatbelt.

I'm sure she pissed them off royally, something you and I know not to do. Still shouldn't have used this much force, even if she deserved to be arrested.

Also, do you think she deserved to have her life ruined with a felony assault charge the cops cooked up for antagonizing them into a frenzy?
I don't care how big of a count she may have been, she didn't need to get punched in the face or have charges that could have her kids taken away because of this.
Why can't cops use discretion and self-control? Why can't they sometimes take the high road despite dealing with counts and assholes?

As you've admitted your preferential treatment from cops, don't you think that gives you quite a biased (and uninformed) position? If you get off with a wink and a nod, I can't fault you for wondering how something like this could happen.
ETA: Last time I got pulled over, first thing the cop said when he walked up to me was "what the frick are you smiling at"
I responded with, "I was laughing because I rolled right through that stop sign and you were sitting there". He got cool and just gave me a ticket, but his aggression was at about an 8 when he came up.
