5:53Now Playing"A Quad Cities police officer brutally beats department-store shoplifter without apparent provocation, and it's caught on video. But officer escapes criminal charges -- and keeps his job.
The Better Government Association has obtained chilling video of a male police officer beating a female shoplifting suspect -- apparently without provocation -- in a mall along the Illinois-Iowa border earlier this year."*
After being detained for shoplifting, Brandie Redell was mercilessly beaten without any appearance of provocation by a police officer. Afterward, the officer continued working at his job, while Brandie suffered extensive injuries and permanent damage to her eye. Shoplifting is against the law, but was the beatdown in any way justified or necessary? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.
