A shocking video shows the moment cops repeatedly punched a woman while restraining her on the ground - but officials have defended the cops and said their use of force was necessary. Onlookers shouted 'what the f***' as a group of three or four officers surrounded Bojangles employee Christina Pierre in southwest Charlotte around 2pm Monday. Video shows one of the officers pummeling her as she lay on the ground. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officials said the altercation began when cops approached Pierre and her colleague, Anthony Nathaniel Lee, as they smoked marijuana at South Tryon Street and Arrowood Road near the Bojangles restaurant where they both worked.
