Two Daytona Beach cops are off the job after a woman complained she was the victim of excessive force, and it was all caught on camera.

The arrest that came into question happened under the Seabreeze bridge.

The reason this arrest caught the attention of police chief Mike Chitwood is because somehow, the body camera on the officers involved was turned off.

But another camera captured some of that excessive force, and those cops are being accused of turning their own cameras off to protect themselves.

"We don't break the law to enforce the law. And we don't tolerate excessive force," said Chief Mike Chitwood, Daytona Beach Police Department.

The incident Chief Mike Chitwood is talking about happened June 2013, there is video from an officer's body camera.

It shows Christine Chippewa was inside her car when approached by Daytona beach police officers Justin Ranum and Matthew Booth.

Officer Booth and Ranum claimed they saw Chippewa shove a bag of what they thought were narcotics either inside her shorts or inside her mouth.

But the camera does not show the moment she is taken down, only whens she's approached, then when she's already on the ground.

When they found nothing in her shorts, they asked her to open her mouth, then the officers knocked her to the ground and tried prying her mouth open with their fingers to take those narcotics out.

Booth told internal investigators Chippewa bit down on his finger so he allegedly rammed his knee to the side of Chippewa's head.

The video does not show the knee to the head, nor does it show when Booth allegedly shoved the butt of his flashlight inside Chippewa's mouth to try to get her from biting down, but it is something he admit to doing.

"We believe his actions and the injuries that this woman suffered are conducive to excessive force. That's not how we operate. We don't just jam flashlights down their throats, jam fingers down there and everything else," said Chief Chitwood.

Chippewa was taken to the hospital and treated for her injuries.

Officer Ranum resigned and officer Booth was fired.
