Feral teens filmed beating up female police officer at July 4 event… as conservative star Ann Coulter says ‘putting a small blonde woman in uniform’ was not a good idea
A group of feral teenagers were caught on camera assaulting a female police officer at a Fourth of July event.
The horrific footage of the brutal assault emerged following a block party in North Charleston, South Carolina, on Saturday night.
The officer was seen being punched in the face by a female while a young man held her down, before another woman attacked her with what looked like a baton.
Another officer managed to intervene as the officer is dragged away, by pushing the woman with the baton to the ground and grabbing another of the teens.
He then resorted to using his taser which caused the horde of teens assaulting the officer to flee.
The young man continued to hold the female officer down throughout this, the male officer pinned his knee to his chest which caused him to finally release his grip.
He is then seen being placed in handcuffs alongside another individual, as a large group watched on.
The footage has since gone viral, with Conservative political activist Ann Coulter suggesting that it was a bad idea to deploy a young female officer.

Ann Coulter reacted to the video on her X profile
She posted to X saying that the parents of the kids involved should be banned from federal handout programs, adding: ‘But putting a small blonde woman in a police uniform is waving a red flag at the “teens”.’
According to North Charleston Police Department, they later recovered multiple firearms and a makeshift spear at the scene.
The department said that two officers were assaulted at the scene after responding to reports of gunfire and people firing fireworks at passing vehicles.
After they arrived on the scene they were told that several people had started letting off their firearms. It was at this point that the fighting broke out.
North Charleston Police Chief Ron Camacho told reporters at a press conference that two female officers both suffered minor injuries but are back at work already.
In total police arrested four people following the brawl, three of them being minors and one adult.
Camacho also warned that additional arrests would likely be made with investigators reviewing body camera footage.
He said: ‘What you got on that social media, you’re looking at one little snippet, at one little video. We were out there for an extended period of time.’

State Attorney General Alan Wilson posted to X saying: ‘The violence we witnessed in North Charleston is unacceptable.
‘There is no place in South Carolina for mob violence or attacks on law enforcement.
‘Anyone who assaults a police officer, fires a weapon into a crowd, or threatens public safety should be arrested, prosecuted, and held fully accountable. South Carolina is a state of law and order. We will not tolerate mob rule.’
A statement from police added: ‘Attacks on law enforcement are unacceptable and those responsible will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
‘The safety of our residents and visitors remains our highest priority. We appreciate the cooperation of the many attendees who complied with officers’ instructions.’
