California Highway Patrol Investigating Police Beating Caught on Video, Like They Always Do

Happy Independence Day. Here is a cellphone video shot last
Tuesday showing one of California’s finest assaulting a woman
walking along a freeway meridian:

The California Highway Patrol is on it, because that’s standard
operating procedure.
Via NBC Los Angeles:

“The California Highway Patrol (CHP) just became aware of the
video today and we are investigating the entire
incident,” according to the statement. “As a matter of policy,
every time there is a use of force by our officers, there is a
review conducted to determine whether the use of force was
appropriate.  That will be done in this case, however, since
there is an ongoing investigation, it would be premature to comment
on this specific video segment. After the investigation is
completed it will be reviewed at multiple levels within the
Department.”

The CHP did not immediately say what prompted the initial
encounter.

No arrests appear to have been made, naturally.
