Video of officer repeatedly striking woman lying on ground could shake officer confidence.
Attorney Dustin Fowler plans to allege police brutality by claiming that a Dothan officer repeatedly struck a woman while she was on the ground. DOTHAN , Ala. -Video showing a Dothan officer repeatedly punching a woman isn’t good optics for the police force.
Privately, some in the department say the video misses key ingredients of what happened outside a Dothan club early Sunday and that police body cam video would change the perception. If that video exists, the department’s hierarchy isn’t releasing it to the public, at least not yet.The court of social media opinion---or much of it---believes the officer was overzealous in her actions, not unlike similar situations that happen across the country.
The shame for the department is this one incident is in danger of overshadowing all the good Dothan police do. In Montgomery, dozens of murders occurred during 2024, and its police chief resigned under pressure amid allegations he pressured an officer to have sex with him.
