DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A video of a DeKalb County police officer was released over the weekend. It shows an officer beating a woman with a baton as, he says, she resisted arrest.


quote:

The video shows an officer hitting Katie McCrary with a baton inside a store on Glenwood Road.


quote:

On June 4, police received a call from the store of a female soliciting customers inside of the Chevron gas station.


quote:

The department said McCrary attempted to push the officer out of the way, and that's when the officer stopped her at the door and asked her to step back.


quote:

Words were exchanged between the officer and McCrary, with McCrary subsequently assaulting the officer, according to police.



quote:

"She continued to aggressively resist the officer’s commands, resulting in the deployment of the officer’s baton," PIO Shiera D. Campbell said.


quote:

The woman who captured the incident did not want to be identified, fearing police retaliation, but she spoke with Choi by phone.


quote:

“I mean the cop, he needs to be punished for it,” she said. “That’s really police brutality.”


quote:

The woman who took the video inside the gas station says McCrary is homeless, and was just in here that night asking people for money -- something, that witness says McCrary does on a regular basis.


quote:

“Yeah, she went crazy when he put her on the ground for no reason and then start beating her,” she said. “Who wouldn’t go crazy, I mean you’re getting beat by an iron stick.”

The beatings will continue as long as criminals continue to disobey law enforcement.

I agree. She should have complied to the officer's first command but chose not to. He provided her with too many requests, which like you said, was excessive.

Why not just peacefully put your hands behind your back and get cuffed? Not saying she deserved all that, but that wouldn't have happened had she not tried fighting with him.

Also, said she was arrested 3 days after this event, for prostitution among other things.

And, says she's been arrested many times before. Just saying, she's probably a known trouble maker and was resisting arrest by fighting with the officer, so he had to do something to try to get her to comply. Maybe it was a little too much, but had she not resisted, none of this would have happened.

She was just out of gas and needed a few bucks to get home.

If that was a man, he'd have been shot dead.

About the only thing that I saw that bordered on excessive was the last hit at the end when her arms were spread out. Much ado about nothing.

Saw this yesterday morning. Kept waiting for you or tangerine to post but you guys never did. Tangerine must have heard something through the grapevine yesterday and posted the wrong baton beating of the white/Hispanic chick.

I'm in the process of switching to a different news aggregate and don't have all of my interests / news sources set up completely.

I appreciate your patience as I work through this difficult but necessary transition.

OMG! Like literally, I can't even begin to explain the frustration and aggravation I am experiencing. It's like almost bringing your own shopping bag from a competitor into a local grocery store bad.

Doesn't like like a woman to me. It looks part man - part animal.

Well there's the problem. DONT RESIST! The cop should have just shot it. When will they learn that if you comply - all goes smoothly and professionally. When they act like animals, well, you get what happens in the video.

What did the woman say with 2 black eyes while she was washing dishes?
Nothing if she knows what's good for her.
