A suburban New York police officer has been freed on $300,000 bail after being charged with using excessive force against a woman at a restaurant.

I would say there's MUCH more to this story than we read here.

Wonder why the State didn't pursue charges....oh wait, I forgot.

Looks like the Cover Your Azz that the prosecutor's office moved for by charging the VICTIM of a crime with a crime did not work as planned.

Now the DA gives a little narrative to the press to make the public think they solved the problem within her office that led to the unsupported charges that VICTIM had to face.

The DA is as much of a problem in this case as is the officer that violated the VICTIM'S rights.

This is like the cops beating up the girl at Reagan National Airport in DC. There needs to be a federal overhaul of police brutality against women.

Police feel free to beat up whoever they want, even women and handicapped people. They just press false charges against them like Disorderly Conduct or Obstruction of Justice, after the beating, to make the police brutality look somehow justified.

Do you really believe that Janet Difiore did not see the video of the police beating? I doubt it. And what kind of Assistant District Attorney would prosecute this beating victim and deem this beating justfiable? A corrupt one who is covering up for the batterer cop. We need to end police violence against women, the prosecutorial misconduct and phony prosecution of victims now.

When is Al Sharpton going to show up and protest? Oh wait she was latino,,,move along,, nothing to see here.

What is a 38 year old woman doing getting drunk with her niece at 3pm?

Ramone.....is it illegal for people of legal drinking age to drink in the afternoon?

Had she fellated the cop as a consequence for "bumping into him" perhaps she wouldn't have had her jaw broke?
