Cop Choler

|

It began with a domestic dispute call. But after Philadelphia police Officer Tamika Gross got to the scene it escalated to her challenging Latifa Savage to a fight then striking her. By all accounts Savage got the upper hand against the much larger cop, until other officers arrived and Savage surrendered. But after those officers handcuffed Savage and had her on the ground, Gross jumped on her and began pummeling her and slamming her head into the pavement. They pulled her off of Savage twice, but even after they had Savage in a patrol car, Gross continued to pound on the window and scream threats at the woman.
