USA: Florida police officer fired for assaulting handcuffed woman

Footage released on Friday shows a Florida police officer repeatedly striking a handcuffed woman at the Duval County jail in Jacksonville, Wednesday. Officer Akinyemi Borisade was charged with battery for the attack and fired by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office on Thursday.
In the footage, the 26-year-old police officer can be seen throwing the woman against a wall before lashing out repeatedly while she has her hands handcuffed behind her back. After the attack the woman slumps to the floor while other officers stand by. The incident was eventually reported to a supervisor by one of the corrections officers on site.
The woman was detained for trespassing at a local bar and resisting arrest. She had been working at the establishment but following an argument with her employer she was asked to leave the premises. According to local media reports, the woman refused to be handcuffed by the police and lashed out several times at her arresting officers. After she was arrested police brought her to Duval County jail where the incident took place.
