Here's ABC's Andrew Dimbirt.

>> Tonight a North Carolina police officer seen in this now viral video showing him repeatedly punching a woman has been fired.

>> This incident does not reflect the values of the Shelby Police Department.

>> The doorbell camera video shows a Shelby police officer taking 34-year-old Sherry Moore to the ground before striking her multiple times.

Another officer is seen running into frame appearing to tell his colleague to stop.

Moore can be heard asking the officers to call her father saying she's not on her medication.

>> Authorities had said the incident happened while officers were conducting a criminal investigation and encountered a suspicious female in the area. But exactly what occurred before the recording started remains unclear.

>> No justice, no peace.

>> The video sparking protests Friday.

>> You can only imagine how I feel to see my niece

body slammed to the ground at 90 lb. No matter what she was charged with or arrested for.
