Cassandra after the incident
This is a far too common and horrific occurrence in police stations the world over.

WARNING: This video is genuinely graphic and shocking.
This is police brutality. This is bullying male violence against women.
This is a disgrace.
Thank God we have CCTV footage. Otherwise I think we can be reasonably sure this woman would have been reported as having “tripped”.
We wonder if this footage would ever have been seen if she had broken her neck and died, and not just required reconstructive surgery?
Let us hope her case against Skokie results in exemplary damages, and we look forward to this idiot policeman being prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Yes, Ms Feuerstein is complicit in her arrest for being asleep at the side of the road in her car, and over the limit. No, she should not have had her life imperilled by casual violence. End of. Period.
Well, This Is What I Think 
Yes, the CCTV camera did not lie at all. The cop? He needs to be fired and, as you say, prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The Skokie, Illinois PD needs to clean house of one way-out-if-order officer, at the very least. And I hope she wins her lawsuit against the Skokie PD. No one ought to be treated the way she was.
