http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cops-department-acted-admirably-strangled-non-violent-handcuffed-woman/After a new chief took over the Chicopee police department, he released a video showing a former officer attempting to strangle a handcuffed woman.
Maylene Maldonado was being booked for an alleged assault on an officer when the incident took place in February 2013.
The officer who assaulted the handcuffed woman is Sergeant Daniel Major. Maldonado has since named Major in a $1 million federal lawsuit.
Major is no longer employed by the CPD. However, it is unclear as to why Major is no longer with the department. The chief of staff for the mayors office, Mary Moge, said she was unsure if Major was fired or resigned.

Three other cops standing there watching.
Should be the poster for why we need a complete overhaul of the law enforcement system in this country.
