Cop kicks handcuffed woman in the head





Police Brutality: Lincoln officer avoids prison for kicking woman!






 A Lincoln police officer was spared prison time on Monday for kicking a handcuffed woman in the head outside a slot parlor in 2009, an encounter that was caught on surveillance video and shown at his trial.

Officer Edward Krawetz, 47, was given a 10-year suspended sentence with probation. He was found guilty in January of felony battery with a dangerous weapon for kicking Donna Levesque, of Uxbridge, Mass. The incident occurred as Levesque sat on a curb outside Twin River waiting for a patrol car to pick her up for booking on a disorderly conduct charge on May 31, 2009.
