A veteran Yonkers Police officer is facing federal civil rights charges following a shocking incident caught on surveillance camera. The cop is now free on bond and has been placed on desk duty, but faces many years behind bars. Wayne Simoes, 38, left court charged in a case that carries up to 10 years in prison. The cop's alleged use of excessive force is the source of widespread community anger. "Hopefully, they should put him behind bars," one man told CBS 2 HD. In March of 2007, Simoes was called to a Yonkers restaurant where a woman had been hit with a beer bottle. The woman's aunt, Irma Marquez, was upset and Simoes decided she had to be subdued. He picked the 120-pound woman up off the floor and threw her to the ground, causing Marquez extensive injuries too graphic to show on television. Defense lawyer Andrew Quinn says the video doesn't tell the full story. "What the video doesn't show is the operation of Wayne Simoes' mind at the time of the incident," Quinn said. "That's what's going to be a critical issue in this case is whether or not his intent when he was subduing Ms. Marquez was to violate her Constitutional rights or cause any type of injury." Court documents in this case make it clear there will be no blue wall of silence. Several Yonkers police officers who were at the scene that night told the FBI they thought Simoes' use of force was unreasonable and excessive. Internal Affairs cleared Simoes of wrongdoing last March, but cops now say the internal investigation will be reopened. A lawyer for Marquez says she suffered permanent memory loss from her injuries. Last month she sued Simoes and the department, seeking $11 million in damages. The Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore is also under fire in this case for prosecuting Marquez on disorderly conduct charges. Marquez was acquitted. On Friday, DiFiore said those who handled the case have been disciplined and reassigned.

What combat training teaches you how to subdue someone in that fashion? When you are trained you first read the situation accordingly then respond...accordingly. Obviously if he was charged his superiors also felt he used unjust force dealing with her. Most likely be a different story when he is tossing your mom or sister to the concrete won't it? Or maybe even your limp-wristed ass.Maybe you two can get "trained" together.

You coward!! The officer she touched wasn't the one that body slammed her. You sound just like a little bitch "she touched me" If you don't know what excessive force and you a police officer you need to get another damn job. Who are they trained by monkeys? Why is it all ways the video doesn't show the full picture when its being used against them? ONLY GOOD COP IS A DEAD COP!

Every person with a badge, and every member of Congress should be required to take random drug screens for both illegal and prescription drugs. This would clean out about a third of these crazy acting fuckers right quick. If you can pass a drug law, or enforce one...then you get random tested.
