Footage of a California family’s argument with the local sheriff’s department has now been made public as part of an excessive lawsuit, after one of the cops body slammed one of the teenage girls to the ground. The incident occurred on June 14, 2015, on a rural property in Sonoma County, however the footage only surfaced this week as the case was presented in court.
According to the sheriff’s office, Deputy Marcus Holton stopped at the house in Petaluma after he saw a truck stopped in the middle of the street and heard people fighting. Footage taken from a body cam Holton was wearing – posted to YouTube on Thursday – shows four women arguing with Holton for several minutes, assuring him there was no issue. The verbal confrontation continues for several more minutes with the family demanding a female officer.
The argument is lead by the mother of three women, two of which are adults and one, Gabrielle Lemos, 18, appears to be a teenager. At one point in the video she is referred to as being 16 years old. The mother accuses Holton of grabbing the women and breaking the law with his ‘investigation’. The argument continues, and Gabrielle starts to walk away from the group.
Holton then takes down Gabrielle as she is walking away, after she ignored his orders to stop. During the body slam, the mother and Gabrielle’s sisters can be heard screaming in the background for Holton to stop. Holton’s body camera fell off during the confrontation, and his face was captured in the footage as he readjusted it to his uniform. He then leads Gabrielle to a patrol car and places her under arrest. Blood and cuts can clearly be seen on her face.
Gabrielle has since filed a civil rights case against the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office. The lawsuit claims the officer used excessive force and is seeking unspecified damages. However, after the lawsuit was filed, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office filed charges against Gabrielle for misdemeanor resisting arrest.
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office have stood by Houlton and said he behaved appropriately. “Deputy Holton was well within his authority and Sheriff’s Office policy to investigate this matter for a possible criminal violation,’ the office said in a statement. ‘His conduct and that of the other Deputies involved has been reviewed by Sheriff’s Office Administrators and we are confident they acted honorably and appropriately during this tense rapidly evolving situation.’

They all have the most annoying voices I’ve ever heard.
And of course the mother is racist on top of that. He didn’t even grab her and they only mention the “black man†even though all the officers grabbed all of them at some point.
The women were beyond annoying but the cop didn't have a reason to open her door to talk to girl in the first place. He was investigating a domestic disturbance. The cop who initially made contact handled it poorly and if there were enough other officers on the scene the target of these women should have backed out of middle of it
Not condoning domestic violence but watching this video I kinda get how someone could want to choke the shit out of you for constantly talking
Bunch of spoiled brats
Hyena’s in a arena screaming and wondering why life happens again and again even when A.) a drunk person ignites fights and confusion. B.) Obstruction of a police officer investigation. C.) The women ignore the real problem they created because the officer happens to be black.
They should all be booked at a Karen Jail specially Momma Karen 😂
Big giant black. man. . Hmmm. Throw the book at them all.
Oh god, the race card🙄
STFU mom and realize you birthed three twats.
Good Lord this bunch of broads need to shut up. He was checking to see if she was ok, so he opened the door to do so.
It's a good example of: if your parents won't parent you, the police will.
Sad excuses for women:
"WE WANT EQUALITY! TREAT US AS EQUAL"!
ALSO SAD EXCUSES FOR WOMEN:
"NO MAN SHOULD EVER CATCH A WOMAN LIKE THAT!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Progressive white girl:
"IM WHITE BUT…."
Also Progressive white girl:
"THAT BLACK MAN…."
How can someone be so racist and not realize she's a racist! I laughed my butt off when they body slammed that noisy broad. I should probably add that I'm a 53 year old 5 ft tall woman and I approve this message! I also approve of treating women as equals in every way including this way shown above!

Didn’t know it was possible to be so annoying the body cam can’t even hear what they’re saying
Police need to come up with sound hoods. Fool talking loud, shut it up.
Hey , she's 18, she can do what she wants
And a woman cop would of beat your ass
That's what they get
A group of Karen’s. Omg. That think they know more then police
There isn't enough money to do that job!
Ahh.. California. Home of the feminists, anti-cops, Karens, and "woke" people
Army of Karen’s
Cop who took her to the ground needs a raise
18 is an adult
Take em all to jail
Sounds like a bunch of hens cackling
They have some work to do before they are ready for diplomatic postings.
Damn! Whatever those women got was too little. The whole group of them should have been tazed, they were the ones that escalated everything. They kept lying that the cops assaulted them, they got in the cops faces, the girl that was put down was probably fighting the cop and he put her on the ground.
Good job of the policeman
