A passenger on a bus recorded a Los Angeles cop punching a woman in the face who apparently hadn't been violent while the camera rolled.

Jermaine Green, the man who taped the Monday night incident in Bellflower, told NBC LA that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy who struck the woman threatened to arrest him if he didn't hand over his camera phone.

The woman brought a stroller laden with pillows on to the bus and Green described her as having "special needs." Two deputies allegedly boarded the bus at the next stop and confronted the lady, who began cursing at them, according to Green's retelling.

His video begins with the woman standing in the aisle and cursing repeatedly. One of the deputies, a woman, grabs her arm.

But watch out for fools claiming it was a "prank" by the cop and a buddy.

3. What a nice guy. And he's a veteran. I like the way he explained how the military are trained

in rules of engagement. They should hire him to train these out of control cops. And the one who hit that woman should be fired, a coward who should not be entrusted with the safety of citizens who pay his salary.

5. The veteran is my new hero -- an exceptional guy. Just what are they teaching these cops nowadays?

I just saw a video about an officer who lost it when a driver refused to allow him to search his car without a warrant.

7. Video removed as a violation of hate speech

Makes me wonder what it contained.

8. Makes me wonder when YouTube decided to start censoring it content to this level.

The end of internet free speech is here boys and girls. Now the police can just conveniently have videos pulled from YouTube. Welcome to fascism...

10. special needs?

My guess is that they removed it because he called the woman "special needs". But it still smells fishy to me.

Kudos to the vet!! We should have more prior-military cops.
