San Antonio Park Police Beat Woman, Delete Video, Which is Later Recovered

[Logical]

San Antonio Park police violently beat a woman who had walked into the wrong room at a gas station, then arrested her brother for trying to video record the altercation.

They also deleted the footage from her brother’s camera while charging the woman with felony assault on a peace officer.

But her brother managed to recover the footage that contradicts the police version of the story.

8. It's on the "Photography is Not a Crime" website. But if it is on Youtube, I haven't found it.

16. The parts of the video in that interview...it doesn't show much.

It doesn't show anyone hitting anyone, although someone certainly hit her. And it is clear the woman is not alone...there's a whole group of her relatives and friends outside.

I think there's more to this story than meets the eye. She must've been in the stock room a long time...there were no police there when she went in...and then there was time for, what, the clerk to call police, for the police to arrive, and then to go to the stock room to where the woman was just coming out. Hmmmm. And she wasn't alone. It was a group of people who came with her...they were outside.

Still, no cause to bruise her up, if she wasn't resisting arrest. Couldn't tell from the video if she was or wasn't.

2. I expect AG Holder will arrest them for destroying evidence...

...as soon as hes done busting pot-smoking grannies and peaceful Occupy demonstrators.

3. LOL, so true. Police very seldom get punished. n-t

[HooptieWagon]

4. Police who commit perjury, destroy evidence, etc...

...should get the maximum penalties perscribed by law. Otherwise, the government is sanctioning thuggery.

5. Police "unions" also protect corrupt cops. n-t

[msongs]

6. to protect and serve....themselves. ought to be on every police car nt

7. No wonder cops hate cameras.

9. PSSST! DO something!

[phone] is their phone number. I just called them; they are on "roll call," but I left them a message to call me back and gave them a piece of my mind.

11. I cannot understand where all this rage

is coming from.
We see way to many of these things.
Roid rage maybe?
I just dont get it.

[HooptieWagon]

17. Roids could be part of it.

Also perhaps a bunker mentality..."us vs. them". Could be how they were trained or instructed by superiors. Could be problems at home they take to work. Could also be they're just authoritarian assholes.
I've met/encountered some good cops...they ARE out there. But you never hear of them speaking out or testifying against the bad ones. Thats too bad, because getting rid of the bad apples would generate much more respect for the remainder.

12. the woman who taped the police with her cell phone beating the first woman ....

is very lucky she was not beaten and arrested as well...but she was threatened with tazers and batons..

[Honeycombe8]

15. Um.....what videotape? Have you seen any videotape by that woman? nt

[Iggo]

14. Yay, Cops!

They're the best!

[Quantess]

18. Awful.

It sounds like excessive force, at least.

[mythology]

19. If this is true,

I suspect the lesson learned will be to destroy the camera rather than say, not beating people.

[backscatter712]

20. QUICK! Somebody post that pic of the cop with the milk jugs!

People here aren't fellating the police like they're required to! The DU Authoritarian Brigate must snap into action!
