FIRE CHP POLICE OFFICERS FOR HOGTIEING A PREGNANT WOMEN AND KNEEING HER IN THE SIDE.

Created by P.D. on January 19, 2013

Before any of the CHP officers could be deposed and the video admitted as evidence, CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow agreed in August to settle the suit. However the police officers in question remain on the force!

They knew she was pregnant," said Howard Price, the attorney for Tamara Gaglione. "She never resisted arrest."

Guns drawn, the officers approach the driver, and one of the patrolmen sweeps away her legs with a kick and pushes her face-first to the asphalt. Another officer then presses his knee into the woman's back and pins her to the ground.

Price said Hernandez failed to mark a box on the arrest report noting the existence of the dash cam video and a prosecutor initially told him none existed.
