Family of woman reportedly beaten by California trooper demands justice
The family of the great-grandmother who was caught on camera being pummeled by a California trooper on the side of a highway demands justice.

The family of a woman, who was caught on camera being pummeled and punched profusely by a California Highway Patrol trooper on the side of a highway, have spoken out for the first time since the incident, demanding justice for the victim.
‘He punched and pound and pound on her, the only thing she could do was block her face,’ Mayisha Adams, the unnamed victim’s daughter, said Saturday.
The woman had been walking barefoot on eastbound Interstate 10 west of downtown Los Angeles Tuesday before the officer tackled her to the ground.
A person near by caught the incident on camera capturing the trooper pinning the woman on the ground and repeatedly punching her in the face.
California Highway Patrol officials said the video captured only a small part of the incident. The officer was trying to stop the woman from walking into traffic and endangering herself and others, CHP officials said.
The victim’s family has hired Los Angeles attorney Caree Harper to represent them in the case against the California Highway Patrol.
Harper said her clients want the authorities held accountable for ‘beating a great-grandmother in broad daylight.’
The viral video has sparked an internal CHP probe as well as calls for the involvement of civil rights groups for a federal investigation.
The officer involved has not been identified and has been put on paid administrative leave while the investigation is carried out.
