Los Angeles: Marlene Pinnock said she thought she was going to die as a California Highway Patrol officer straddled her, repeatedly punching her head, on the side of a Los Angeles freeway.

During an hour-long interview with news agency AP - her first public comments since the July 1 incident was caught on now-viral video by a passing driver - Pinnock spoke haltingly or in a whisper, occasionally putting her hands to her temples and grimacing.

"He grabbed me, he threw me down, he started beating me, he beat me. I felt like he was trying to kill me, beat me to death," Pinnock said. Pinnock was released from the hospital last week after several weeks of treatment for head injuries and now slurs her speech, Harper said.

Pinnock is suing CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow and Officer Daniel L. Andrew in federal court for civil rights violations. The suit claims excessive force, assault, battery and a violation of Pinnock's due process rights. The CHP hasn't identified the officer but said he had been on the job for 1 1/2 years and is on desk duty pending completion of the internal investigation.

1. Some desk duty will definitely set him straight

After a few hours of working in an office, he'll think twice the next time he straddles another woman and tries to murder her with his bare hands.

Damn straight.

2. I wonder what this man's fellow officers must think of him, when they pass his desk...

4. Probably think "dumb bastard; you forgot to shoot the dude with the camera."

It must be nice to have a job where you can just beat the shit out of anyone who pisses you off and walk away.

Seriously these days I fear law enforcement more than any criminal.

5. Some cops take jaywalking seriously

Now try spitting on the sidewalk and see what happens!
