ROCHESTER, NY — An officer for the Rochester Police Department was recorded on video getting punching a pregnant woman in the back of the head and a body-slamming her face first into a sidewalk. Details are unclear about who the subjects are, but the actions of the officer are very clearly excessive at the moment they were used. An unidentified woman and her 16-year-old brother were being arrested by a swarm of Rochester police officers, for reasons unknown.

While an officer struggled with her, she screamed, “Get off of me, you’re gonna kill my baby.” “I’m pregnant, I’m pregnant,” she yelled. The officer jamming an elbow into the woman after face-planting her into the sidewalk.

The officer followed up his punch by holding his weight against the woman and falling with her onto the sidewalk, face first. The woman screamed and the bystanders cried out in shock. “I’m five months pregnant,” the woman said in disbelief. Officers are then seen dragging off the woman and her brother to patrol cars. The female bystanders expressed their disapproval for several minutes. While the woman was not being cooperative, the force did not appear to be justified at the time it was being used. Policestateusa will follow up with further information about the subjects in the video when they become available. https://facebook/photo.php?v=1392139191024503&saved
