LOS ANGELES — A woman seen in a July 1 video being pummeled by a California Highway Patrol officer alongside a Los Angeles freeway filed a civil rights lawsuit Thursday, naming the commissioner of the CHP, the unidentified officer in the video and other officers as defendants.
The now-viral video recorded by a passing driver shows Marlene Pinnock, 51, being repeatedly punched as she’s straddled by the officer.
The CHP has said the woman was walking on Interstate 10 west of downtown Los Angeles, endangering herself and people in traffic, and the officer was trying to restrain her.
