****** LAPD arrest caught on video; Department investigating cops seen bodyslamming nurse twice during cell phone traffic stop
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating two officers who were caught on surveillance camera slamming a nurse on the ground twice — and then fist bumping afterward — during a recent traffic stop.
Del Taco's surveillance video shows the officers, both men, yanking the 5-foot-4 inch registered nurse from the open driver's seat and then slamming her on the ground to cuff her. The second time she was slammed to the ground she was handcuffed.
Jordan's lawyers said that the offense didn't warrant the officers' goon squad-style takedown.
"We have a defenseless woman in a sun dress, two fully armed police officers with training and various restraining devices that they could have used, and instead they used nothing but brute *****," one of her lawyers, Arthur Corona, told KABC.
