  1. It took these THUGS a fu*king YEAR to release this video? They are basically declaring open season on every cop in this country with that disgusting behavior. Cops in this country have lost their fu*king minds.

  2. Most cops are freaking dirt bags.
    Straight up.

  3. Only in California. Pelosis, marine at Pendleton. Disgusting

  4. WOW U DONT HIT WOMEN,, OH UNLESS U WEAR A UNIFORM,, WHATS WRONG WITH SOCIETY?

  5. THIS IS THE MOST RACIST DEPARTMENT IN CALIFORNIA

  6. Trained to be the problem, qualified immunity ends constitutional right to fight against tyrannical government

  7. Good officers, to bad that race of people r dumb..

  8. Don't worry these evil people going to get the war they want to bad they going to loose

  9. Is punching any detainee ever acceptable.

  10. Maybe he should have tased her instead. When are we going to accept that the situations are escalated by the citizen. Why not just comply get through the process and take grievances out later. In these situations the citizen is always making themselves a nuisance and hard to deal with not saying what the cop did was acceptable but the situation would probably have never escalated to that point if she had just complied.

  11. People die for trying to take kids everyday

  12. robert luna, blood, of THE LAMB of the G_d of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob, on you.

  13. I felt like the were acceptable. She didn’t care about her own life or the life of her baby why should they?

  14. Until we resist at the level of the French people the police will continue to treat us as if they are an occupying Force. Killing beating maiming and illegally detaining I wish the UN would actually do something about the state of the United States police force.

  15. This happened a little bit over a year ago he just now hearing about it he's lying they were using this time to try to cover it up to get these criminal law enforcement officers off the hook it doesn't matter to law enforcement if it's on video or not especially when it is showing the proof of the criminal act . I'm quite sure this mother is going to sue, and I hope it is for millions. She was holding her baby possibility that the child was in some kind of way, and he was injured along with the criminal action . The reason why the reporter couldn't get any update on the mothers are any of those who were involved because law enforcement covering it up and still is without any other information about this case . Hope there will be a recent update hope the reporter can find out and locate the victims to do an interview

  16. Why anyone would want to live in California. Let alone be a cop there is beyond me.

  17. Los Angeles county sheriff could be suspended for punch mother's baby and send to Los Angeles county district attorney or California general attorney will announce charge against Los Angeles county sheriff.

  18. The punching deputy is now qualified for work with the FBI…Another Vicky Weaver abuser type…

  19. You mean to tell me that a reporter, you know, someone who researches and seeks out stories of interest to the public, couldn't find any of these people, or their families to go to for comment? Really? Too hard? You couldn't go through mug shot photos of people arrested during that same time frame? Did anyone even try? And you call yourselves a news team.

  20. They definitely shoulda been arrested tho. 3 babies zero car seats???

  21. Question for everyone.if you are police and you are telling someone to turn around for the handcuff and you tell them why they are being arrested and yet they keep asking you why are they being arrested and you keeping telling them,how many times are you going to keep asking them to put their hands behind their backs?20?40?80?how many times before you force them to turn around or would you just let the criminal walk away since they wont obey your orders.this is the question.dont add any what about this or what about that,to the question.the question is only what i wrote.

  22. She deserved it. She was resisting!!!!

  23. I wonder what she did to get pulled over in the first place…

  24. If police departments around America wouldn’t hire so many low life’s this would be prevented.

  25. Absolutely heartbreaking! 💔

  26. LASD is nothing but a bunch of gang members

  27. No matter how bad the mother was acting, police should not be acting that way. They are not judge, jury, or executioner. They should not be punishing anyone.

  28. Attitude, arrogance and mucho ignorance. She got herself punched.

  29. No Luna Fired.. Fired Luna

  30. Yeah and this is an example why I don't like cops duhh

  31. They have a very serious problem here that they are not addressing this just continues with this department!

  32. So hes gets full pay sitting at a desk for a few months. Smh When will enough be enough people?

  33. Must find out where the cop lives

  34. Quit acting like a zoo animal, perhaps you won’t be treated as such

  35. America had become an uncreative soap opera at this point. Must be the writers strike.

  36. You only found it unacceptable because it is taped and released to news

  37. One more time!! Totally justified! Why? Because only an extremely crazy, drugged, drunk "mother" can scream and puts the baby in danger with aggressive behavior! A real parent will be very calm with the police if they ask him something! They are aggressive if they hiding something (cocaine, heroin) and the baby is like a cover to avoid being searched! I'm sure the officer feared for the baby's safety and had to react!

  38. There was no other way to resolve the situation? Grab a car seat, put her and the baby in the back of a police car? Take them to the station together?

  39. NBC is running out of news going back to 2022 lol btw that would not have happened if she had fallow instructions like how adult she is (I wonder why ppl now on day act like kids look at does woke and pride paraid) acting like kids
