She got out of the car and did not comply with an officer's demand to get back in the vehicle. The 5-foot-4-inch woman was slammed to the ground and handcuffed by at least one officer. While being led to the patrol car, an officer slammed her to the ground again. <br /><br /><div>The incident was captured by a surveillance camera at a nearby restaurant. <br /><br /><div>The officers involved were removed from patrol duty pending an investigation, and their supervising captain was transferred. Beck said the videotape raised serious concerns and ordered it shown at officer roll calls throughout the department. <br /><br />In one incident, Alesia Thomas died in a squad car July 22 after struggling with officers trying to arrest her on suspicion of child endangerment.<br /><br /><div>During the struggle to get Thomas into the patrol car, a female officer was captured by the car's video camera threatening to kick Thomas in the groin if she did not obey, and then she made good on the threat. A short while later, Thomas stopped breathing. The coroner has not determined what caused her death.</div><br /><div>In a third incident, college student Ronald Weekley Jr. was stopped Aug. 18 by officers for riding his skateboard on the wrong side of the street. A bystander's cellphone video appears to show that an officer punched the 20-year-old in the face while he was on the ground being handcuffed with four officers on top of him. He said he suffered a broken nose and cheekbone. <br /><br /><div>Weekley was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest. Police have launched an internal investigation to determine whether excessive force was used, but the officers involved remain on duty. "These are unarmed, handcuffed suspects.

Additional screen- and electronics-related “Easter Eggs” that can be programmed through software have found their way into SRT vehicles in recent years. Through electronics, “Easter Eggs” have the capacity to evolve over the lifetime of vehicle ownership. The reception to “Easter Eggs” on SRT vehicles has been very positive from both customers and automotive analysts. Media members enjoy the challenge of finding “Easter Eggs” as they test drive and review vehicles, and SRT vehicle owners revisit childhood memories of taking part in an actual Easter egg hunts. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6aku6ik4DmdFzlu2zzeTpSnbo-RQsSYFhNCgOs1dfJpJIWjztcfrF2H3C10aafxsiBhrZ0ns_H3Jw_45k8_P3flVsDWGl47qb0Qd1hVl3YGU_5qFcSFzfpFKQC_f6ZWxb46UFi17jET1/s1600/easter-egg-707-hp-dodge-challenger-hellcat-83429_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6aku6ik4DmdFzlu2zzeTpSnbo-RQsSYFhNCgOs1dfJpJIWjztcfrF2H3C10aafxsiBhrZ0ns_H3Jw_45k8_P3flVsDWGl47qb0Qd1hVl3YGU_5qFcSFzfpFKQC_f6ZWxb46UFi17jET1/s1600/easter-egg-707-hp-dodge-challenger-hellcat-83429_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Supposedly the above was the first giveaway of the Hellcat 707 horsepower ....<br /><br />scanning the pic for some additional hidden treasures,  the first thing that grabbed attention was the individual climate control temperatures, with 68 being the year when Carl Cameron designed the original Challenger.<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.autoevolution.com/news/go-stalk-dodge-s-srt-the-2015-challenger-hellcat-is-an-easter-egg-83429.html#">http://www.autoevolution.com/news/go-stalk-dodge-s-srt-the-2015-challenger-hellcat-is-an-easter-egg-83429.html#</a><br /><br />more info <a href="http://blog.chryslerllc.com/entry/2255/chryslers_easter_egg_hunt">http://blog.chryslerllc.com/entry/2255/chryslers_easter_egg_hunt</a></div>

Eighteen were scheduled, only 12 were built.<br /><br />Like the original, the throwback Jag gets an aluminum body shell, doors, trunk lid, hardtop and hood. It also houses a classic 3.8-liter aluminum-block inline-six making 340 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, and a four-speed close-ratio transmission.<br /><br />John Edwards, managing director, Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations. “To be able to complete the intended production run of 18, some 50 years after the last Lightweight was completed, was an opportunity we couldn't miss."</div><br />The Lightweights will be sold as competition vehicles suited for FIA homologation for historic races.<br /><br />"Operating from a brand new workshop -- now open for the restoration and servicing of customer cars -- the building of six new, meticulously crafted Lightweight E-Type period competition cars by Jaguar Heritage is testament to the unique skills within the team,” said Derek Weale, director of Jaguar Heritage. “To know those same skills can also be utilized to the benefit of existing classic Jaguar owners means this is a very exciting time for Jaguar Heritage." <br /><br />Jaguar says that even though there have been great advances in aluminum since the ’60s, it chose to use old methods to build the car so it would conform to the FIA requirements for historic racing. The outer surface of an original was scanned, and the information was transferred to the design department for tooling.<br /><br />Photos from <a href="http://www.wired.com/2014/09/jaguar-e-type-lightweight/">http://www.wired.com/2014/09/jaguar-e-type-lightweight/</a> info from  <a href="http://autoweek.com/article/pebble-beach-concours/jaguar-introduces-continuation-lightweight-e-type">http://autoweek.com/article/pebble-beach-concours/jaguar-introduces-continuation-lightweight-e-type</a></div>
