The California Highway Patrol was last night facing a potential federal investigation into the circumstances that led to the “excessive and brutal” repeated punching of a prostrate and apparently unarmed black woman by a Patrol officer.
Police in California are investigating the incident which was recorded on a mobile phone. Civil rights groups and community activists demanded a federal probe. In the video, posted on YouTube and viewed by tens of thousands of people at the time of writing, the officer, reportedly since placed on “administrative leave”, was seen delivering several blows to the woman’s face on the side of a busy road.
