LOS ANGELES [[CBSLA.com) — The California Highway Patrol responded Thursday to a YouTube video showing an officer punching a woman along the side of the freeway.

The CHP officer is shown punching the woman on the ground more than 11 times in the face.

She doesn’t appear in the video clip to resist.

On Thursday, the CHP issued a statement that said: “The California Highway Patrol [[CHP) is aware of the video and we are looking into the incident. 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 without reviewing the entire incident.”

The confrontation was caught on cellphone video by a man driving by.

On the YouTube video, he seems shocked that the officer is hitting the woman. What started the confrontation and what triggered the rough takedown and arrest is unclear.

The video was shot along the 10 Freeway near La Brea Avenue early Tuesday evening.

When the video starts, the officer is seen trying to detain the woman. She gets a few steps away from him, but he gets her to the ground.

He briefly struggles with her before repeatedly punching her in the face.

After a few moments, a plainclothes officer enters the picture and helps the CHP officer put the woman in handcuffs.

The man who shot the video identifies himself as a music producer who lives in Los Angeles.

David Diaz told CBS2′s Rachel Kim he was horrified to have witnessed the confrontation.

He called it a definite case of police brutality.

Diaz said he saw the barefoot woman walking around the off-ramp when he noticed a CHP officer chase her around a truck.

He said the punches were “excessive and brutal.”

“He just pounded her,” Diaz said. “If you look at the video, there are 15 hits. To the head, and not just simple jabs. These are blows to the head. Blows. Really serious blows. And this is ridiculous to me.”

He added, “I find it hard to believe there [was] no other remedy in this situation.”

Damn! I take a week off of watching the news and this happens! Fuckin' cops!

Of course, the racists at Fox news will say that we don't know what the Black woman did to the poor cop before the video started, and probably deserved it for walking along the freeway.

You probably missed the hubbub over Sirius XM firing one of the hosts of the "Opie and Anthony Show". He alleges that he was taking photos at Times Square when a Black woman attacked him, punching him at least 10 times. He went on a Twitter rant that delved into racists attacks, so the network fired him. Of course, his fans are now clamoring for him to be rehired thanks to "freedom of speech".

Dude is trying to suggest that if he defended himself by fighting back, then the rules are different for white people. He wants to believe that he'd have been arrested if he punched her back, which obviously is BS. Smart money says that the event didn't happen in one of the busiest and heavily-policed areas of the US. We're on our way back to the days of Jim Crow.

The rules definitely are different if he had hit her. Just not because she was black, but because she's female and he's male. Females have unjust power in the court system. They can all out attack a man, then cause themselves bruises or scrapes, and have the guy arrested, charged and convicted just to get some money. Check out the Greg Hardy situation. White gold digger trying to fuck him over when he didn't do a damn thing except be stupid enough to be around her.

Wow!

I tend to avoid news at holiday times.

If the incident occurred as he described it, there were hundreds of witnesses and dozens of cops in the immediate area. There's a substation in Times Square. I'm off the belief that he should either have fought her back or reported it to the police since he would have been justified to do both. His story just doesn't add up.

At least he's not getting his job back. Sirius/XM Radio is holding firm on this. Opie will just have to find a new partner in crime.

Anthony and Opie have gotten away with saying some wild s***! I knew it was just a matter of time.

His problem was he didn't keep it to radio. He crossed over the line when he couldn't claim it to be satire anymore. If it's on the radio, "it's just a joke". If it's on your Twitter account and you carry on the way that he did, well, that indicates your deeply held beliefs.

Today it doesn't matter. How many radio people have gotten into trouble with saying things over the air?

If the racist dumbass had any brains, he would have simply not posted anything.
