According to Jacksonville.com, 26-year-old rookie police officer Akinyemi Borisade has been terminated from the Sheriff’s Office and subsequently arrested for battery for beating up a handcuffed woman at the jail after she attempted to kick him.
The following video is pretty disturbing.
What’s almost as disturbing as the cop’s violence against the woman is that the other officers just stand around and watch, and then offer her no aid when she collapses to the ground.
Even more disturbing than that? Another beating by the same cop happened when the woman was initially being arrested in a parking lot. Take a look:
The woman, 31-year-old Mayra Alejandra Martinez, was initially arrested after a dispute at a strip club. She was reported to be intoxicated and disturbing patrons.
As mentioned, the first-year cop has been terminated and arrested on a battery charge. Undersheriff Pat Ivey added, “There are ways that this could have been dealt with without striking her.”
No kidding.
