Cell phone footage showing a police officer punching and putting a 15-year-old girl in a choke-hold in Mesa, Arizona, has gone viral about being posted online.
Luis Paul Santiago, who recorded the incident as he was driving past, posted the footage on Facebook on Friday and it has since been shared more than 1.8 million times.
Along with the 70 second clip, Santiago posted an explanation that the girl was an 'emotionally unstable' runaway.
Quote:
The Free Thought Project, which linked to the video, says the girl's mother 'attempted to explain to the officers that she has mental problems as well as asthma.'
According to Santiago, the police tried to delete his video but were unsuccessful.
On his Facebook he writes that the second officer said that his partner had done everything according to police procedure and that if she had wanted to she 'could have shot her dead.'

I knew this was one of those awful Daily Mail articles as soon as I moused over it...
They have this horrible habit of captioning all their photos with the words: "incredible moment" / "terrifying moment" / "horrible instant" / "joyous moment"
I don't know who's editing that paper but whoever it is has mental deficiencies
this has gone too far killing and hurting innocent ppl. my lord! I get using some force but cops now seem to et out all their frustration out on these poor ppl! its crazy!
I am disgusted and sick to my stomach. Cant they see her panic like that and maybe realise they are nearly killing the girl?
Fire these guys, they don't dserve to be in their position, nor should they even be allowed to be there if this is the way they are going to handle situations
