As I was watching this guy on the interview, when asked what he thought of the video, his response was enlightening, and I instantly thought, coward.
And I also think this rose to a level of felony assault not misdemeanor. He needs to be a convicted felon and forbidden from owning firearms for the rest of his natural life. He'll still be able to get on half the police departments in America with a misdemeanor.
Department of Justice investigating sheriff's deputy in jail cell videotape
Mar 3, 2009
The videotape of a King County sheriff's deputy roughing up a 15-year-old girl in a holding cell has caught the attention of the Department of Justice, which "is definitely looking into the matter," according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Harris, who heads the local office's civil-rights division.
Harris said the U.S. Attorney's Office had learned of the incident last month when the Sheriff's Office announces criminal charges had been filed against the deputy. He said the office "just didn't have enough to go on" at that point, but the release Friday of the video from a holding cell changed that.
"It is on our radar now," Harris said. "That was the first time we'd seen in on Friday, and we've had a couple of days to talk about it. We are looking, yes."
