Can't argue with sunrise a well known author once wrote. You got that one right.
Sgt. John Urquhart said the surveillance video shows Schene "using more force that was necessary as far as the prosecutor's office is concerned. And as far as we're concerned, that rises up to the level of an assault."
Also, the deputy, Paul Schene, 31, has been charged with fourth-degree assault:
The deputy, Paul Schene, 31, has been charged with fourth-degree assault in connection with the Nov. 29 incident in a holding cell at SeaTac City Hall.
Do you think the deputy, Paul Schene, 31, will go to jail?
I see him charging her and shoving her back into the corner where he can get ahold of her and put her down on the ground for control. The “punches” do not appear to be very powerful to me because of the weird angle that they are thrown from. Perhaps some martial artist can talk about that.
I have become very skeptical of videos that are do not have context.
The fact that this young woman had no serious injuries indicates to me that he did not “drive her head into the wall”, and did not “punch her in the head”. If he had “punched her in the head” with any force while her face was in contact with the concrete, he would have likely broken facial bones or teeth, or at the minimum, caused severe bruising. My guess is that he hit her between the shoulder blades.
I, for one, can not continue living with societal circumstances the way they are. I am not willing to leave and live somewhere else (largely because the other places are worse) so I choose to stand here and fight and suffer whatever consequences come. I do NOT accept what the government (executive and legislative branches) are doing right now as they deliberately scare people and destroy the economy to remake it in their "Socialist" image. I do NOT for ANY reason accept open and blatant disrespect of authority by adults or children.
It appears that in this country many simply can not come to agreement on some matters. So, how it gets resolved next is going to be very interesting. I have no further comments on this matter so any additional posts need to be placed to others. Good night.
I keep waiting to see some LEO behavior that won’t be excused by the bootlickers. Hasn’t happened yet. Probably won’t ever.
Some people are just well trained.
The excuses some people make for cops are just unbelievable. Listen to yourself. "He didn't hit her in the head in only hit her between the shoulders!". So, what excuse you do think he had for hitting her at all when she was down and under control? BTW, he did drive her head into the wall and did smash her into the concrete. He didn't hit he when her head was on the concrete because he had her head pulled back by her hair,and it sure appears he hit her in the back of the head twice. She didn't steal a car, it was her mother's car, and even if she had stolen a car she shouldn't have been treated that way.
As for the dumb ass that thought she was putting up her dukes, he had better look at the video again, she was cowering in fear and backing away from the officers assault. This guy was a total frickin' jerk and deserves more than 4th degree assault charges to be filed against him.
Nope, but this one was turned in by Ma.
And would you have dragged this HANDCUFFED teenager to her feet from a prone position by her hair?
Sure wouldn't want you to be a cop on my beat.
“A picture may be worth 10,000 words but there are no words here. Where is the sound? What provoked the policemans behavior? Im sure the sweet little thing would never provoke that response. sarc/.”
Pretty revealing statement there. Have to teach women and girls a lesson sometimes?
Your valliant stand against unruly 15 year old girls is an inspiration to us all. We need you at the Tea Parties!
Nope,
Me neither.
but
There really isn't a "but" that can over-ride the "Nope."
If there was, it would contradict the "Nope."
I'm going with the guy who wants better camera angles and a sound track. This thing really sucks without sound.
Ever since Ern tried out for and made the force he became one of “them.”
Makes me wonder if I should be glad I failed the polygraph for telling the truth and they continue to rely on bad science in order to “weed out” people.
Only a thug cop could look at that video and see the way the shoe was tossed/kicked and think that is an assault or that the force used was even necessary.
LOL.
Ever notice how these bootlickers never excuse or forgive the other way (with cop-killers or those who have shot cops invading the wrong house?)
Also note how they never are there to do violence against the enemies of liberty. They are lovers of authority and power, so they’ll follow Obama if he just gives the order.
Yes, but deputy Paul Schene is charged with fourth degree assault under the Washington criminal code. If I were him, I'd be sweating over possible Federal criminal charges:
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 242
§ 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;
and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;
and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

The second officer might not be off the hook, either. I guess it depends on the Federal prosecutor.
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > § 4
§ 4. Misprision of felony
Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
Typical badge behavior. Squats behind his squad car while the terrorists are killing the kids inside the high school; kicks the crap out of the unarmed teenage girl in the jail cell. Protectin’ and servin’!
Beating aside, that is definitely the cleanest lockup I have ever seen.
