She's Pregnant & Black, They're Cops -- You Know How This Ends [Disturbing Video]

"Officials with the city of Barstow, California insisted this week that officers had acted properly when they used force to arrest a pregnant woman who refused to show them her identification, even though the charges were later dismissed.
In police body camera video obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Southern California (ACLU SoCal), an officer is responding to an apparent traffic dispute between Charlena Michelle Cooks, who is 8 months pregnant and black, and an unidentified white woman.
The officer first talks to the white woman, who accuses Cooks of acting “all crazy.”
“I don’t see a crime that has been committed,” the officer admits after examining the woman’s car. After promising the woman a police report, the officer heads over to talk to Cooks."

So it's NOT illegal to slam an innocent pregnant woman to the ground? I'm confused. The lack of charges against the officers tells me it's legal to assault people for no apparent reason.

The cops says he doesn't believe any crime has been committed until he speaks to the black lady... and she sounds hostile and starts talking about "Oh because she's white" and admitting that she confronted the white lady. She is acting like someone who would do every single thing the white lady said she did. .. and simply asking her name not even asking for ID and she goes nuts says how much patience she has as a person. She's a total ass hole... and total ass holes turn regular people into total ass holes when dealing with them.

Tommy Payne I despise cops but in this situation the cops did nothing wrong. They didn't not disrespect her, threaten her, or anything that PIGs usually do to black people. She was the one that escalated the situation by refusing to cooperate while the cops investigates a situation she as implicated in. Then she actually tried to WALK AWAY from the cop. She is accused of attacking a woman in a SCHOOL parking lot. This is 100% the woman's fault and no amount of crying and begging after the fact will change that. And her pregnancy changes NOTHING. She obviously did not give a damn about her child while she struggled with police. As a black american it infuriates me when white liberals fucking take situations like this and claim it's racism when it is clearly the fault of the "victim". Trayvon Martin was a REAL Victim Mike Brown was a REAL Victim Eric Garner was a REAL Victim But this woman is only a victim of her own STUPIDITY.

The pig in question, should be fired for not knowing the law in the first place. He had no legal right to ask her for her name.

He should also be fired for being a liar, and/or not being able to tell time, seeing as how it was less than 2 minutes, before he put his hands on her.

For example if a Cop gets a call about Loitering and it is pretty clear you maybe loitering and they ask for I.D. and you deny to give it to them. They can arrest you and take you down to the station. Now they were ONLY able to do that because there is probably cause you maybe loitering.

"They were aggressive". If a animal is abused and they become "aggressive" its okay because they were a victim. But when blacks have been continously victimized for 400+ years and want to protect the rights thier grandparents marched and died for they are wrong. Youre a hypocrite and closed minded. I pray you never have to go through a tenth of the struggle black people encounter in everyday life. You wouod never make it. The cop was an ass period.

Let me just state that I'm 13 and white, before I say anything. What the police did was totally uncalled for. She didn't even have to legally give the police officer her name, and when she went to check if she did, the police officer said she had 2 minutes and then immediately forced her to the ground with her screaming "I'm pregnant". The white woman got off with a "Ok, I'll check this out," while the black pregnant woman got pushed to the ground and handcuffed, even though no damage was done and no evidence was provided. I'm not upset with either of the woman, I'm upset with the cop. When I watch the video, I don't see "A spoiled white h**" or "A re****ed black n*****", I see two woman road raging at each other, one calls the cops, and the other one gets arrested for no apparent reason. The only one I see at fault is the police officer, who appears to have arrested a woman based on her skin color. People need to stop looking at the white and black people with stereotypes and need to look at the bigger picture. When I get older I'm either going to be a teacher, a doctor, or a police officer. I'm gonna make a difference from all the fakes and high tiers that think they can do whatever they want.

Cop kept saying he had the right to ask. He's right, but he forgot to mention she had the right to decline. He had no right to press her like that, let alone force himself on her. Anyone know if this cop got fired or something? Maybe a law settlement? These are videos that must be shared. This shit happens daily across the country, not just people getting shot.

[@donteversendmeshit]

Rights are great and everyone has them... BUT, right or wrong, your rights don't protect you from harm once the police decide that they are going to do what they are going to do to you. When the courts stop protecting police and start protecting our rights cops will change how they handle all of us. I am not arguing against you I am arguing in full agreement with you.

[@freakboy40]

Look, this black woman did not need to give her name. He should not have handled this in this manner. He arrested her because she didn't give her full name and felt like he was disrespected. But the fact is the woman was scared...and as an African American I can relate. She knew she was at a disadvantage. Moreover, as soon as she said she was pregnant the cop should have been more cautious. Given the situation, it was unlikely she was lying. This was handled incorrectly.

[@AlexanderConnan]

The thing that pisses me off more than anything else is that he asked the black woman for her information and not the white woman. He assumed who was the primary aggressor. That small assumption seems insignificant, but it's huge because it's what's leads to thousands of more black people having interactions with police that end like this. Imagine if he had talked to the black woman first, and went over and asked the white lady for her information. But a white woman in this country could steal a bike and broad daylight and people would help (that's a real video on KZbin)

Blue Kogi So, what made you think that the white woman's story was the truth? All I saw was a she said/she said case, in which cops will usually tell you to file a police report of you so wish, and leave. What makes you think the black woman was in the wrong? Because she was irritated that thos bullshit was happening to her? What if it was the white woman who was irritated, and the black woman scared? And there is NO WAY IT IS ALRIGHT TO LIE A PREGNANT WOMAN ON HER STOMACH AT 8 MONTHS. I am 7 months pregnant right now, and I couldn't lie on my stomach from 4 months. THAT IS NOT OKAY NO MATTER WHAT. The black lady did nothing to warrant being handcuffed and arrested.

It is terrifying being a black woman in America when dealing with the police. This is from personal experience. I have a squeaky clean record, I do community service, I'm educated, and I am extremely polite (Sometimes to a fault lol. My parents were very intolerant of any disrespect). I have had some very distasteful exchanges with Atlanta police and Athens police. I have had officers take one look at me, and assumed the worst; just because I'm black. One cop who I called due to a minor fender bender actually hopped out of his police car and the first thing he asked me was whether he new me from anywhere, like from a prior case. Haha. While many other women get the the benefit of the doubt, protected by the halo effect, I, an upstanding citizen who helps her community, am often times treated like I'm a common criminal, subhuman, and an attitudinal ticking time bomb waiting to go off. Nice.

[@erictaylor5462]

I don't think that racism is at the core of the problem. The REAL problem is about respect. First the cops EXPECT to have more trouble with black people so they are more aggressive and far less polite when dealing with black people. The black people expect the cops to be aggressive and rude so they are less respectful. The cops become offended at being disrespected and things explode. There is only ONE solution to this problem. The cops need to be even more polite with black people.and they need to forgive any minor disrespect. To be honest the cops have lost the right to be respected by black people. They need to earn that respect back. It won't be easy and ALL cops are going to need to swallow their pride and just deal with it. Why are cops the ones responsible? First it's easier to train the cops to do this than it is to train the people they will be dealing with. But more important, it was the police who started things more than 100 years ago, especially in the South. The cops have never given black people the same respect as whites. There is a fantastic story related by Dr. King himself. When Martin Luther King Jr. was a child his father was stopped by the police for some infraction. The cop called his father "boy" as was all to common at the time. Martin Luther King Sr. told the cop he was NOT a boy, and he wished to be addressed as "Mr. (or Dr. I can't remember MLK Sr. had a doctorate) King". The cop APOLOGIZED and addressed the man properly. The rest of the encounter went smoothly. It would go a long way in aiding the police if they used "Sir/Madam", "Please", and "thank you" when dealing with black people. If the cop BEGINS an encounter (even if it's with a criminal suspect) with a gesture of respect they would be surprised at how much easier and more pleasant dealing with black people will be. It won't always work, and if it doesn't the cop needs to continue showing respect until the other person realizes THEY are being respected and returns the favor. Remember the black person EXPECTS the cop to be aggressive and rude. It may take some extra time for them to see the cop ISN'T being rude.

Georgia Mack im sorry for suck man comment. he is ignorant. im white...and this is purely a disgrace against any race...black...white...Hispanic...however...it happened to a black woman. she was cooperating with the police...and she is not legally obligated to give her info IF a crime has not been commited...and the cop clearly stated a crime had not been commited. so i am sorry on behalf of all white people...i strongly feel for rights of any person of any race...she was clearly scared. and i get harrased all the time by police for having a black gf.. when were stopped...its always a problem...and it sucks...because some of the best ppl i have met in my life are black...and i have met some black ppl who were dangerous...BUT....i have met the same amountnof WHITE PPL who.alsp were dangerous. i am a past convicted felon who has changed his life around and i suffer from harrasment pf my record as well and from stereotypes of well he has a record so he must be a criminal. same shit...well shes black so shes the one whos wrong...and on behalf of suck man i am sorry...not all white people are racist baby girl.. just want u to know there is hope fpr blacks and whites to have harmony one day..mnptnin our lifetime but hopefully in our childrens lifetime.

You know even that isn't enough, when we sue the police they still don't pay out of their own pocket, the tax payer you and me is where that payout money comes from, they keep their own money so in the end they still don't give a shit and will keep on acting the same

[@bellaphone5719]

kenrick perkins she didn't get shit so stop lying

[@bellaphone5719]

Georgia Mack ya can't sue shit

[@jasonroberson4245]

The cop admitted that he did not think a crime had been committed, so what was his justification for attempting to restrain her or detain her? Under California law she was not required to give her name. The moment the cop touched her HE committed assault. Because he had no right to restrain or detain her.

[@stormysamuel4666]

Americans (especially Blacks) had better learn what their rights are under the 1st, 4th, and 5th amendments. Everytime someone agrees with police tactics to take away MY CONSTITUTIONAL rights under these amendments also erodes your rights.

[@youuglychild8152]

I hope these cops get punished severely and painfully for doing this to a defenceless, pregnant woman.

[@KnightofAntiquity]

Frankly what the cop did was just piss poor police work. He could have said the following: "That is fine mam, feel free to check, but because an incident was reported and I am writing a up a document for that report I have the right to ask you your name to confirm if the individual in the incident was you. If you are the person the other lady reported I just want to have your side of the story for documentation purposes. Neither of you are under arrest because there is no evidence of a crime being committed... so may I have your name?"

[@lazinasimmons3652]

Fact!

[@yungdada87]

+KnightofAntiquity ,, +KnightofAntiquity ,,no , my state doesn't require me to give my name,for a non criminal act, that police officer could of just used a description >black female 5ft 7in , estimated weight 175lb. -, that identification game is to check for warrants or unpaid parking tickets etc. That policeman over stepped the law to provide comfort for the white lady, acknowledging there is no crime but he will go get the pregnant black lady information for that same no crime " Is that fair enough ",,now in the process of violating the black lady constitutional rights, he also doesn't articulate the reason for the arrest ,,, (fact) your not resisting an arrest before you was told(articulated)by the arresting officer that your under an arrest ,, better example > a policeman Can't slam you down on the ground and when you start to defend yourself that policeman say why are you resisting , but never articulate the reason for an arrest before the slam happens.- now in this situation the policeman didn't have a reason for an arrest, he created one..

[@yungdada87]

+yung dada ,,wow KZbin censoring my comment , and after reading all the other comments about this video ,,they picked mine

[@MrPiccoloku]

+yung dada I could still read it. Also, who do you think reported you for telling the truth? Also, it's kind of bizarrely refreshing that you're making a better argument for the same point than I think I could when your English is rather poor.

[@KnightofAntiquity]

+yung dada For incident reports that do not result in an arrest the police can ask your name. They do this so that the parties can be on record so that its easier to track events if something happens between the two individuals again. In her case because she was being blamed for something where no crime could be proven, asking her questions is the only way he could confirm if any incident occurred and if she was the one involved. You are right, she doesn't have to give her the information but, the cop is allowed to ask for his report. How he handled obtaining and how quickly he resorted to force is the problem here. He could have easily explained himself and she would have given him her name.

[@alonreid]

By law, you don't have to provide your name. When she refused a name, he should've walked away & put a report in "parties involved refuse to give name, no crime committed"

[@praisekek]

Mr. Reid, Wrong. there was an accident in the parking lot.

[@kevinmcdonald6979]

The officer said in the beginning, there was no crime committed. At that point, everything that happened after his admission of no crime, has no bearing on why he treated the black woman in such a brutal way. Cop should be fired and the black lady should be paid in full.

[@ephraiminaboakye7875]

so why was she even arrested?? Goodness she's PREGNANT!

[@trobins2088]

That was the worse, she was grabbed for absolutely nothing, she doesn’t have to give her name, wtf!!!!

[@AlysaHarris]

This really makes me nauseous, I hope her and her baby are ok.

[@unklecorky2181]

Alysa Harris she deserved every bit of this mouthing off like that.

[@woahthere2815]

Unkle Corky what do you mean by that???

[@unklecorky2181]

I'm not a child breeder

[@dawnnightinger3025]

Just ignore the satan worshipper.

[@Mei-em4qk]

Unkle Corky So... She deserves to get physically hurt and have her baby potentially killed because she didn't give her name? Noice

[@bobeboy5151]

Am I the only one who thinks that the cop sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger?

[@kyoakland]

+AntiThug PRO yeah he's a tuff guy alright lmao

[@kyoakland]

Yeah slamming a pregnant woman to the ground is a tough thing to do these days no wonder why this world is going downhill too many pussies that like to beat up on women and kids

[@kyoakland]

Or should I should i defenseless unborn kid in this situation lmao yeah he's tough

[@tranquility9325]

+Kyle Malone I agree

[@bobeboy5151]

Niesha Niggy Kk thx dad

[@aquariaaustin2077]

In Texas, penal code 38.02(c)1 says that you have to provide your name, birthdate and address ONLY if you are arrested. Until then, you can tell the pigs that they have no need to know your ID. Know your rights under the law.

[@tracygarner5912]

There was no legal reason to handcuff her. She has a case.
