Police Brutality - No Accountability Whatsoever!

Why is it if you swing a stick and hit someone who is unarmed it is aggravated battery - a FELONY. If a police officer does it, it is OK?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles Police Department commanding officer has been removed amid an internal investigation into a videotaped beating in which officers tackled a handcuffed registered nurse to the ground, police Chief Charlie Beck said Wednesday.
Beck said previously that he had
"serious concerns" about the use of force against Michelle Jordan, 34,
who was arrested in the Tujunga area on Aug. 21 after being stopped for
talking on a cellphone while driving, police said.

Jordan got out of the car and cursed the two officers who stopped her, witnesses and Jordan's husband told KNBC-TV.

Fast-food restaurant surveillance video obtained by the TV station (bit.ly/NVptHP
) showed officers taking her to the ground. After she is handcuffed and
walked to a police car, the 5-foot-4 woman is tackled a second time by
an officer who lands on top of her.

"She made some unwise moves," her
attorney, Sy Nazif, told the station. "But certainly nothing that
warranted a physical assault from the LAPD."

Photos show scrapes on Jordan's face, shoulders and chest.

The officers involved in the
incident have been removed from patrol duty until an LAPD investigation
is complete. One is a 22-year veteran and the other is a probationary
officer with 10 months on the force.

Beck said at a news conference
Wednesday that Capt. Joseph Hitner of the department's Foothill Division
was "severely deficient in his response," Beck said.

"Proper steps were not taken,
including appropriate notifications and the removal of the involved
officers from the field," Beck said. "Because of these issues, I have
removed him from his command and initiated downgrade procedures. Every
Los Angeles police officer, regardless of rank, will be held accountable
for their actions."
