Quinn Gamino, the witness who filmed the video, said what he saw troubled him.
Video shows the officer punching the woman while she is on the ground, after police say in court documents she struck the officer “5 to 6 times."
Gamino described what he saw in the video.
"He throws her, the girl, to the ground, and then right before you see the other lady come in, get close, uh, you could see him strike her in the face," Gamino said.

Police violently tackle Black woman down on top of metal bike—for watching them on public sidewalk.
Then 2 cops push her face down & straddle her backside—with her skirt riding up.
Officer put his full body weight on top of woman—while her torso bends around metal frame, pedals and handlebars.
It is unclear from video if she receives medical attention.
Incident occurred at the Mill Avenue entertainment district in downtown Tempe, Arizona.
Quinn doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.
According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.
It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.
His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.
DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.
We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.
Everyone should be outraged.
THIS!!!!
THIS!!!!
The idea that ANYTHING in a goddamned quickie mart is more valuable than a human life is ABSURD.
That boy could've emptied an entire shelf of chips and candy into a duffel bag. It's not cause to shoot him.
The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized".
That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.
DeLauro: You just gave the President’s family a tax immunity. The Save America PAC paid you $10 million. Do you not see the conflict of interest?
Blanche: I do not understand what you are saying.
BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period
IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement?
BLANCHE: The Constitution
IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
Sen. @JeffMerkley to Rubio: You have expressed that no one died as a result of the shutdown of USAID. I want to note that it's estimated that over 500,000 children have died from that shutdown. I hope you ponder that as we strive to rebuild programs related to malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV, nutrition, and Ebola.
DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the Epstein files?
BLANCHE: We have complied with the law
DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. And you know what you said to me? 'They include another guy named Epstein.' Nobody is buying it
*the time of the gentlelady has expired*
DEAN: I beg your pardon? How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this? What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up.
🚨BREAKING: In Chicago, ICE agents were filmed hitting the car of a U.S. citizen, assaulting a bystander who was filming, pointing a taser at innocent people, and driving away before local police could even verify their identities.
And we’re supposed to believe they’re making our communities safer.
The video shows ICE agents chasing a man through Albany Park.
Two agents grab him and rip his shirt off during the chase, while one of the agents drops a fully loaded magazine… and leaves it there.
The man manages to get away and runs across a street, where cars are stopped at a red light.
An ICE agent then drive a black SUV into a U.S. citizen’s vehicle in an attempt to cut off the man running.
The man is eventually surrounded by agents, when one agent suddenly grabs the man and aggressively throws him to the ground, as multiple agents immediately pile on top of him as he screams for help.
As this is happening, residents begin recording what they are witnessing.
That’s when another agent enters the scene with his taser already drawn.
Despite another agent already standing next to a person filming, he walks directly toward the bystander, shoves them backward, and screams, “Back the fuck up.”
The person filming isn’t attacking anyone… or interfering with the arrest.
In fact, you can see them nodding and saying “okay.”
Yet, the agent continues advancing toward them with a taser.
Which all raises some serious first and fourth amendment concerns.
And let’s talk about the woman whose car was hit…
Her vehicle gets run into, during a federal operation… and then they threatened to arrest HER.
And afterward, local police told her they were not given proof of the agents’ identity at the scene.
One officer reportedly said, “[The agents] didn’t want to show us proof of that,” when speaking to the woman whose car was hit.
AND THEN, according to reporting from the scene, one of the ICE agents had a Jerusalem cross sticker on the back of his phone.
The Jerusalem cross is a Christian symbol dating back to the Crusades that has more recently gained popularity among some far-right and white supremacist groups.
Maybe that’s something DHS would like to explain.
So, if federal agents can crash into civilian vehicles, leave loaded ammunition in public streets, point tasers at bystanders, and aggressively confront, and assault, people exercising their constitutional rights…
Then the people holding the cameras aren’t the problem.
The cameras are documenting the problem.
The court found intentional racial discrimination. Called the Section 2 violation "not a close call." Found that Black Alabamians had less opportunity than white voters to elect candidates of their choice.
Alabama lost. Drew a new map. Lost again. Now it wants the Supreme Court to let it use the illegal map for 2026 anyway.
Rep. Shomari Figures won the seat under the court-ordered map. Alabama is asking the Supreme Court to eliminate the district he represents before the next election.
That is not a map dispute. That is a test of whether court rulings mean anything when a state has the political will to outlast them.
As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
Big Tech NDAs are hiding the true impacts of data center projects, concealing key details from communities.
In Roanoke, one local paper seeking more information on a data center project and its water usage received documents with those numbers redacted.
The reason? The water company had signed an NDA with Google.

Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
🚨 THIS IS WILD.
Rep. Menendez says he waited 15 HOURS outside an ICE facility trying to check on a detainee leading protests over conditions inside.
He says he told officials:
I’m not leaving until I know he’s okay.
Then after waiting overnight…
he finally gets inside.
And the first thing they tell him?
The man he came to see was gone.
Moved at 2 AM.
Read that again.
A member of Congress shows up for an oversight visit…
waits all night…
and the detainee he specifically came to check on gets transferred before he can see him.
Menendez says that detainee was helping organize a hunger strike because people inside wanted their stories heard.
Whatever your politics are…
when oversight shows up, the answer should be transparency.
Not a disappearing act at 2 in the morning.
