I saw that this morning on TV and it is reprehensible, at a bare minimum! The second thing that came to my mind: How fucking dumb this guy must be to do something like this when he has to know it's being captured on film - even his own patrol car is filming it, along with any other citizen nearby with a smartphone! Lastly, if the woman was AA, the officer beating her will immediately be ionized as a 'hero' by the same bunch who profess that George Zimmerman is a hero for killing a black teen! Was she wearing a 'hoodie'?

When challenged by an authority, it is stupid to just walk away. Answer up, or be arrested or shot. Being put down and handcuffed is less serious than getting shot.
I know, you young kids just don't get it. You think you can criticize authority and get away with it, you usually do - but don't count on it.
She did not stop to a challenge. She will be charged and sent away. Male or female, both have to obey. Because, that is just the way it is. I have been challenged by police, for being behind a building taking a piss, they thought I was attempting to break into the building.
Be polite when challenged, and acknowledge the officers authority. It is important to him, and should be important to you because he can shove it up your ass and get away with it.
Don't like it? Too bad. That is the way the world is.
