Woman punched by California Highway Patrol settles

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman punched repeatedly by a California Highway Patrol officer in an incident caught on video will receive $1.5 million under a newly reached settlement, and the officer has agreed to resign.


CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow confirmed the settlement in an emailed statement Wednesday night and an attorney for Marlene Pinnock confirmed the terms for The Associated Press.

The settlement came after nine hours of mediation in Los Angeles.

He should have been convicted.. If it was her bashing his head it would have been justified homicide

don't you kops have anything to do besides getting on here and trying to justify other kops' bad behavior?

she got paid and he lost his job. more of that needs to happen and they need to start making kops like him pay out of their own pockets and stop giving them a paid vacation when they screw up.

I hope he loses his certificate and does jail time.

Have you read the story I sent you about the kop who shot an unarmed man, during a seat-belt violation stop? The kop even shot a couple times AFTER the guy had his hands in the air.

I'm with 4:37. Why should the taxpayers have to foot the bill for the actions of this out-of-control psycho?

REAL tough guy. An unarmed WOMAN!
I guess he was afraid she'd pull out her nail clippers and give hime a scratch.
Whoever watches this and thinks the cop was "justified" is either a cop, a State's Attorney, or a judge. I can't wait for some storm trooper to say that "99% of all police actions are justified".
"We, the people" look at this at say "WTF?!", this is a COP?
Serving and protecting, huh?
Start making cops PAY the awards.
That would chill 'em out some...
