Brutal LAPD arrest caught on video; Department investigating cops seen bodyslamming nurse twice during cell phone traffic stop (VIDEO)

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating two officers who were allegedly caught on surveillance camera slamming a nurse on the ground twice — and then fist bumping afterward — during a recent traffic stop.

The two officers pulled over Michelle Jordan, 34, of Sunland, Aug. 21, for allegedly talking on her cell phone while driving in Tujunga, in northeast Los Angeles, the department said.

Jordan pulled into the parking lot of a Del Taco restaurant and got out of her car to confront the officers, cops said.

The taco joint's surveillance video appears to show the officers, both men, yanking the 5-foot-4 inch registered nurse from the open driver's seat and then slamming her on the ground to cuff her.

The duo then yank Jordan to her feet and bring her to the patrol car, where they pat her down.

Moments later, one of the cops slams the married mom to the ground a second time.

After placing her in the cruiser's backseat, the two appear to share a celebratory fist-pound.

Jordan was booked for resisting arrest and later released.

Police Chief Charlie Beck said in a statement Tuesday that the video caused him "to have serious concerns about this use of force."

"We will investigate this thoroughly and hold our officers accountable for their actions," Beck said, according to KABC-TV.

The officers, whose names were not given, were placed on desk duty while the department investigated the alleged beatdown.

One was said to be a 20-year-veteran of the force while the other was a probationary officer on the force for 10 months, according to local reports.

Jordan's lawyers said Jordan mouthed-off at the cops, but that her behavior didn't warrant the officers' goon squad-style takedown.

"We have a defenseless woman in a sun dress, two fully armed police officers with training and various restraining devices that they could have used, and instead they used nothing but brute force," one of her lawyers, Arthur Corona, told KABC.

Jordan was said to be weighing a lawsuit, according to local reports.

There's a pay out. Idiots.

Yes she broke the law. Yes she got lippy with the police. But that is not reason to slam a handcuffed woman face first into the pavement.

I don't know why police feel they demand respect and don't tolerate people getting mouthy with them. They are public servants after all, and not exempt from people giving them a piece of their mind.

She must have had a bad attitude.

[Trip McNeely]

I bet they felt so threatened by her 5'4" stature.

Luis, we don't know the whole story... We've still got "about eight" more days for Matt to come back and invent it for us.

Im on the cops side until they can produce a un clipped video. That video cuts away prob when she starts resisting and fighting them. I hate the media.

Seems like she was a bitch.

I hear what you're saying, it's a very one-sided article for sure. But no matter what she did, she was handcuffed and could have been handled more professionally.

I agree with that.

True, but you don't go around slamming women on the ground while they are handcuffed. Not solely because they are a bitch, anyways. It's called self control.

Yeah. If being a bitch was a prerequisite for a body slam, there'd be bodies everywhere. It's a shame that two of LA's finest can't handle a hand-cuffed, pissed off, 5'4" woman.

If that was my wife I would go body slam the officers. That's bullshit no matter how she spoke to them.

Some crazy bitches are into that sort of thing.

I usually beat my wife un-cuffed. Usually.
