On March 10th, Cassandra Feuerstein was arrested for DUI and was brought in to the Skokie, Illinois Police Station. Complying with police orders, Feuerstein remained in her cell and after a few minutes asked officers if she could call her husband and children to inform them of her situation. Feuerstein was called out of the cell by Officer Michael Hart, and after a short while can be seen being violently thrown across the cell and face first into a concrete bench. The blow broke multiple bones in Feuerstein's face, causing her to collapse, unconscious and bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth. As a result of her injuries, Feuerstein required reconstructive facial surgery and a titanium plate inserted into her cheek. In this video, Officer Hart demonstrates the consequences of unchecked power in the police system. He abused his power as an officer of the law to physically harm a complying woman for no apparent reason. Hart's actions were malicious and he should be punished accordingly. To this day, 10 months after the incident, Hart has not been charged.
This is truly wrongful thing to do by Officer Hart to do, as you stated "unchecked power" by the police. The injuries on Feuerstein would have affect her to loss self-esteem, which is caused by the police. Officer Hart by law should be charged, since he violates section 12, which is 'everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. Even though we cannot fully understand the reason why Officer Hart pushed Feuerstein so hard, but he still violated the legal right that Feuerstein has.
This is a rather disturbing video, but if you look further into this situation there is another perspective. Look into it and see if your opinion changes at all.
