If this officer struck her in the face, she'd be showing photos of her facial injuries. since i've seen no evidence for these I assume that the explanation of hitting her on the arm to try to get her handcuffed, sounds reasonable. I'm more disgusted by a local "race relations manager" who said that "its disgraceful that..." she was "beaten to the ground... stripped from the waist down... and having dogs barking at her.. in the year that we're calling the abolition of slavery" This has nothing to do with race, wake up, smell the reality of the police's job.
