Cop Who Punched Handcuffed Woman in the Face Reinstated
Milwaukee Police's termination reversed
Milwaukee Cop Richard Schoen was fired in May of this year after his superiors saw a dashboard-camera video that shows Schoen climbing into the backseat of his cruiser to repeatedly punch a handcuffed woman in the face. He's now getting his job back despite the objections of Milwaukee's police chief and mayor.
According to a FOX 6 story published upon the video's release, Schoen arrested Jeanine Tracy for being "argumentative and us[ing] profanity" during a traffic stop. While in the backseat of the police cruiser, she yelled and stomped her leg, complaining that it hurt.
