Know your rights when talking to a police officer: http://policecrimes.com/police.html Never talk to police officer without a lawyer, even when you're not under arrest.

Sioux City Police explanation from their Facebook site is included in this video to get both sides.

SIOUX CITY -- The Police Department is denying any wrongdoing in the way officers treated a woman captured on camera being forcefully arrested this summer. The woman, who said she received a black eye and bruises during the scuffle, alleges she was mistreated and is considering suing police.

The footage, which began circulating online last week, shows Dacosta Daniels, 34, of Sioux City, being arrested during an Aug. 8 traffic stop in the 1400 block of McDonald Street. The scene was captured by a Sioux City Police Department car dashboard camera.

The video shows two officers shoving Daniels onto the patrol car's hood to make the arrest. She appears to struggle as police handcuff her. At one point, she is punched in the side and put in a headlock before being handcuffed, the video shows.

Sioux City Police Department spokesman Jeremy McClure said he would not elaborate about the arrest. Court records show Daniels was being arrested for assault of a peace officer, a serious misdemeanor. She is accused of punching police Officer Joshua Tyler before the arrest, records show.

McClure declined to talk in detail about the video. He said the department plans to post a longer version of the video on its Facebook profile Wednesday morning. It will include a narration explaining what happened, he said.

"It'll explain what the situation is, or what's going on," McClure said. "Basically, explaining what the officer is doing."

McClure said the incident was the subject of an internal investigation. It found that officers followed department rules in the arrest, he said.

Daniels' fiancé, Chris Robinson, said the video is from police dash cam footage obtained as evidence in the criminal case against Daniels. They provided the video to the Journal on Tuesday.

Court documents say the incident happened after police stopped Robinson and found that he was barred from driving. The car, with New Jersey plates, was a rental vehicle. Daniels was a passenger.

During the stop, Tyler asked Daniels what her name was and she answered with a profanity, the documents said. The officer then asked if she had identification, and she again swore at the officer, according to records. Daniels then attempted to make a cell phone call and the officer told her to hang up, which escalated into a scuffle, the documents allege.

The incident left Daniels with a blackened right eye and severe bruising over her body, she said. She sought medical attention and took photos of the marks, as did police, she said. Police would not comment on her injuries.

Daniels said she is pursuing a civil case against police and plans to hire an attorney soon. She said she didn't want to talk about specifics in the case.

A version of the video was first posted on YouTube and Facebook. Daniels and Robinson deny that they put the video online.

  • Cowards that are

    Obviously

    Power-tripping

    Shitstains

    Fuck the police...

  • Punching her in the kidneys is "continuing to get her to comply"??? Ever heard of "diplomacy" or am I just old fashioned. Cops NEVER need to punch anyone in the kidneys to gain compliance. This is brutality and the narrator sounds like a cop to me. PEACE!~!

  • what a clown. he has no idea about compliance techniques. Punching someone in the shoulder like that is pointless.

  • btch got what she deserves... that's what btches get for having a big mouth

  • They're doing their job. She's broken several laws and should do serious jail time. She interfered with official acts, assaulted a police officer, and resisted arrest.

  • thats down the street from my house

  • wrangled like the dog that she is. beautiful.

  • since when it is illegal to answer your phone? the phone is her property, NO ONE has the right to tell her what to do with her property!!! Especially a dumb thug that has the law behind him and abuses his power hitting a woman's kidneys just to arrest her...because she exerts her constitutional right to use her property!!!

  • @erkme73 and two thugs were not enough to hold her??? is there a need for extra cops to arrest one single woman??? WTF?
