Petition: Fire Deputy Who Slugged a Mentally Disabled Woman!

This issue may not have even seen the light had it not been for civilian Jermaine Greer, who happened to film the episode on his cell phone.

Deputies in Bellflower assault disabled woman
Special thanks to the Care 2 Petition site

(REDWOOD CITY, Calif.) - There were two trained police deputies and only one unarmed, mentally disabled woman on a public bus in southern California. But somehow, the deputies could not resolve the ensuing conflict with her without punching her in the face.

Tell Bellflower Metro Police Department that this behavior is absolutely unacceptable. »

It's still not clear what the confrontation, which seems to have been initiated by the deputies, was all about. What is clear is that a uniformed deputy slugged a special needs woman hard enough to make her lose her balance.

This issue may not have even seen the light had it not been for civilian Jermaine Greer, who happened to film the episode on his cell phone.

What's more, the deputy in question threatened to arrest Greer for not handing the video over.

Act now to tell the Bellflower Metro Police Department that an investigation is clearly necessary. »
