FLORIDA - Cop arrested, fired for repeatedly hitting a handcuffed woman

A Florida police officer has been charged with battery and was fired from his position after a video emerged of him repeatedly striking a woman as she stood handcuffed. The footage released by Jacksonville Sheriff's Office shows the officer repeatedly strike the woman in the upper body after she attempts to kick him while his colleagues stand by and watch the violence unfold. 

After the cop has struck her, another police officer approaches the pair and the woman slumps to the ground beside a trash can. Other officers recorded in the video show no visible reaction to the incident.

The CCTV video was captured in the secure entranceway to the Duval County Jail as police waited to process the woman's details, who had been arrested earlier Wednesday evening.

How possible the American Police Officers are so violent? Staying outside of their problem and looking what a videocam shows about performances in these last 3-5 years, we remain astonished in looking not at all justified their behavior. Ok, if a real violent reaction from a criminal start, probably we can justify, but looking this clip, not!
