The woman, 34-year-old Michelle Jordan of Sunland, was pulled over at a Del Taco restaurant on Foothill Boulevard in Tujunga because she was holding a cellphone while driving, said the officials, who asked not to be named because the internal inquiry was in its preliminary stages.

As the 5-foot 4-inch Jordan exited her vehicle, she allegedly failed to comply with officers' commands to get back into the car and was slammed to the ground by the male officers and placed in handcuffs, according to the officials.

While handcuffed, she was led to the officers' patrol car. Moments later, she was slammed again to the pavement, apparently with more force, by one of the officers, who was much larger than Jordan, the officials said.

The police are doing what the government wants them to do, beating, brutalizing, terrorizing, and sometimes killing the American people. There are hundreds of thousands of cases of police brutality reported each year but only a token few are ever prosecuted. In the case of Michelle Jordan, nothing at all would have been done on her behalf had it not been for the Del Taco surveillance camera. Think about all the people who are beaten and killed each year by police and there's not a camera to record it.
