LAPD Officer Kicks Woman in the Groin! She Dies! Officer Charged!

by Austin Petersen

A LAPD officer was charged with assaulting a woman under the color of authority after kicking her in the stomach, pushing her neck and kicking her in the groin.

Officer Mary O’Callaghan was charged on Wednesday with the crime that ended with Alesia Thomas dead. Thomas was being investigated for possible child abandonment when her children turned up at the local police station.

O’Callaghan was dispatched to Thomas’ residence to investigate. When they arrived at the scene, officers had already begun the arrest of Thomas and put her in the patrol car. Prosecutors then say that O’Callaghan was caught on camera kicking the restrained woman in the stomach and groin and pushing her in the throat.

Thomas lost consciousness and was later pronounced dead in the hospital. Officer O’Callaghan was not charged with involuntary manslaughter because there was not enough evidence to prove that she directly caused the woman’s death.

It is believed that other officers at the scene ignored the woman’s cries for medical help and another officer may have lied to the investigators in order to cover it up. An autopsy by the coroner found that cocaine intoxication was probably a major factor in the cause of Thomas’ death. Conflicting police reports state that she was dropping her children off permanently while the opposing report claims that Thomas may have been expected to pick her children up at the station.
