Woman Says Fort Lauderdale Cops Beat Her After She Testified in Brutality Case

In 2015, Jessica Mooney sat next to her fiancé at a Fort Lauderdale bus terminal as he filmed Fort Lauderdale Police Officer Victor Ramirez slapping a homeless man in the face. The following year, Ramirez was charged with misdemeanor battery and arrested, and Mooney testified against the cop in court. Just two weeks after she incriminated the officer, Mooney says, Ramirez's fellow cops wrongfully arrested her outside the Quarterdeck Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, brutally beat her, threw her to the ground, and ultimately sent her to the emergency room.
