California Cops Under Fire After Being Captured On Body Cam Tussling An 8-Month Pregnant Woman To The Ground!

Police video shows the arrest of a woman who is 8-months pregnant for refusing to give her full name to police after an argument in a parking, CNN reports.

Two police officers in Barstow were the subject Thursday of an internal police investigation for alleged excessive force after video surfaced of the roughviolent arrest of a woman who was eight month pregnant, according to a report by CNN.

The arrest, which occurred in January, was recorded on the officers’ body cameras and made public by the ACLU.

The incident started as a parking lot dispute at a school, involving two women dropping off their children, CNN reported.

One of those women was Michelle Cooks. Cooks was upset by the dispute and walked away to call her boyfriend, she told CNN. She could be heard arguing with the officers on the video. She repeatedly asked them not to touch her because she was pregnant.

An altercation ensued between Cook and the officers, during which she was wrestled to the ground on her stomach and hand-cuffed, the video showed.

The Barstow Police Department arrested Cooks for resisting arrest, which a judge later dismissed, CNN reported.

Two months after the incident, Cooks told the station she gave birth to a healthy daughter.
