The homeless woman who was beaten by a California Highway Patrol officer earlier this year will receive a settlement of $1.5 million, according to a recent Telegraph news report. The settlement has been made regarding an incident that took place on July 1 of this year, when the woman in question, the 51-year-old Marlene Pinnock, was straddled by a police officer and brutally pummeled on the shoulder of a state highway.

The entire thing was captured on cellphone cameras, and footage of it quickly went viral in the days and weeks following the incident. But while the video showed an officer using excessive force, it did not tell the entire story. As it turned out, Pinnock was a homeless woman at the time, and was battling bipolar disorder. Because of her poverty, she had been off her medication for two or three months when the incident occurred.

The officer who was caught on film beating a civilian was placed on leave after the July 1 incident. He later resigned. In the wake of the occurrence and the viral outrage it inspired, California Highway Patrol Commissioner Joe Farrow vowed to resolve the issue quickly and fairly, with respect toward Pinnock and the ordeal she had endured.

Farrow kept his promise. After nine hours of deliberation and negotiation between Pinnock’s lawyers and the California Highway Patrol, the two entities arrived at the $1.5 million settlement.

For Caree Harper, one of Pinnock’s lawyers, the resolution to the entire narrative has been satisfying, because it has accomplished both of her goals for the proceedings.

“One of the things we wanted to make sure of was that [Pinnock] was provided for in a manner that accommodated her unique situation in life, and that the officer was not going to be an officer anymore.”
