“A University of Arizona student who went to University Boulevard Saturday night to check out the scene following Arizona’s loss to Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament caught footage of a police officer knocking down a woman who appears to be walking by.
“These girls had been trying to get to their car. The girl is on her phone not paying attention and this cop came out of nowhere and just leveled her,” said Phoebe Landolt, who shot the video. “After that everyone just started yelling and she started crying.”
Landolt said she and her friends were standing near Park Avenue and University Boulevard when she caught the incident.”* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

I really don’t understand how cops keep being suspended WITH PAY pending investigations into shit like this. Where is the accountability?
What the hell is wrong with US police? I have been reading heaps of these types of incidents.
That cop should serve a lot of jail time, pay a BIG fine, and lose his job.
