It's hard to be able to say just from viewing the video footage and from interviews whether she was having a fit or not. It's possible she had some sort of mild attack inside which was mistaken for drunken behaviour and then had another attack when being arrested.

Whatever reason the policeman felt justified for hitting her 5 times with what looked like heavy blows does that even begin the excuse them for carting her away with her trousers round her ankles? That was unacceptable. She should have been covered decently when she was taken into custody. Perhaps there is a feeling that they wouldn't have done that to a white woman.
