RAW: Body-camera footage shows former Colorado officer hit woman after she spit on him

Loveland Police on Friday released body camera footage showing an officer punching a woman in the face after that woman spat in the officer's face at a hospital. On May 21, Loveland Police officers responded to reports of a woman wandering in and out of traffic and speaking incoherently in the area of North Garfield Avenue and East 29th Street. Officers placed the woman into protective custody and took her to the Medical Center of the Rockies for additional evaluation. As soon as the woman is taken out of the patrol car at the hospital, she begins cussing at the officers as they walk her inside, the video shows. At the hospital, the situation escalates as she spits toward the face of an officer and he reacts by punching her in the face. The officer was fired after this incident. The woman faces charges related to her actions at the hospital.
