Preface: I just watched this being featured on CNN news and was flat out stunned. It's pretty bad.
At the time of the incident neither the bartender nor the patrons knew that the guy was a cop. As well what is not shown in the video is that the cop was being belligerent leading up to the beating he had been "play punching" anothe guy in the bar and that he came behind the bar prior to which she had pushed him away and then decided to cut him off becuase he did not have money to pay for his drinks.
She reports and the video shows that none of the other males in the bar made any motion to offer her assistance prior nor during the beating she endured and single handedly fought off. The cop as reported on CNN is 6'1" @ 250lbs. and she is 5'4" @ 115 lbs (!). Take close note of what the guys at the bar witnessing the event do and the actions of the two guys that come in late after the beatdown is is pretty much over.
As reported by CBS5.com:
Chicago Cop Allegedly Seen Beating Woman On Video
CBS) CHICAGO A Chicago Police officer is in criminal trouble and could soon be out of a job, over accusations that he beat and kicked a female bartender on the city's Northwest Side.
Officer Anthony Abbate is charged with aggravated battery in connection with an attack at Jesse's Shortstop Inn.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that surveillance video taken inside the bar appears to show Abbate punching and kicking the bartender while off duty.
The bartender filed a police report but Abbate checked himself into a medical facility so he was not arrested until last week, authorities said.
The Police Department has moved to have Abbate fired.
