Philadelphia Police Commissioner: Cop Who Struck Woman Likely To Be Dismissed | Lt. Jonathan Josey, the Philadelphia police officer now known for the viral video of him sucker-punching a woman during a Puerto Rican Day parade, is likely to be fired. Commissioner Charles Ramsey said yesterday that Josey would be suspended without pay for one month “with the intent to dismiss.” In this video, Josey appeared to react to water that had been sprayed at him by another passerby before punching Ms. Aida Guzman in the face, handcuffing her and leading her away. Charges initially levied against her have been dropped. Guzman is purportedly considering legal action. Watch the video
