A Utah Highway Patrol trooper is under investigation after a video showed him punching a woman several times during a traffic stop, a spokesman for the Utah Department of Public Safety said.
A dashboard camera captured footage of Sgt. Andrew Davenport punching 53-year-old Darla Wright in August.
"The suspect was still trying to escape, she had the accelerator floored and engine revving in an attempt to push our vehicles out of the way," Davenport wrote in an incident report.
That's assault with a deadly weapon. The cops showed a great deal of restraint not to shoot the idjit.

Yes. Yes he did.

"The suspect was still trying to escape, she had the accelerator floored and engine revving in an attempt to push our vehicles out of the way,"... Davenport said Wright would not roll down her window and gripped on the steering wheel... "She refused to comply with commands to give us her hands," Davenport wrote. "Due to my close proximity to the suspect and my experience with Taser failure at such close distances, I delivered three close hand strikes to her head in an attempt to gain compliance with our commands. I did this to distract and stun her and to stop her from trying to drive off and strike our vehicles or possibly run us over. The strikes worked and we were able to grab her hands."
If anyone has a problem with him punching her in the head, where else is he supposed to punch her while she is sitting in a motor vehicle trying to get away?
The headline should technically read: Idiot Woman Gets Punched While Attempting to Flee From Cops.
Good for him. She led police on a chase and when boxed in was still gunning her engine trying to push the police cars out of the way. He used a non-lethal solution to subdue her.

T minus 3 minutes and counting until a certain Denmark residing troll shows up to explain how these thug police should all be executed for what they did to this poor old lady who was just trying to buy some groceries.
