OLYMPIA Sarah Harris goes through the motions of her day trying hard not to think about what life was like a year ago or what it would be like now if not for "the incident."
She feels guilty leaving the house, even if only for a couple of hours to visit her mom or sister, to run errands, or go grocery shopping. She still cries every night.
Her husband, the first boy she kissed and the only man she's ever loved, suffered a catastrophic brain injury when his head slammed into a concrete wall after a brief footchase with two King County sheriff's deputies on Mother's Day 2009. He's now confined to bed, unable to talk, walk or do anything for himself.
Christopher Sean Harris spent six weeks at Harborview Medical Center, where his family was encouraged to remove him from life support because doctors didn't think he'd ever come out of a coma. But he did, and was transferred to an Edmonds nursing home in June.
Sarah Harris, who worked as a manager for Nordstrom and dreamed of becoming a buyer for the department store, gave up her job to care for her husband.
"I loved my job, and I miss it all the time," she said. "But I knew there was no way I could go back to work and leave him alone in a nursing home all day. There was no decision to even make."

That is an outrageous lie! I know of one police officer who entered law enforcement because he was fired from two burger chains for being incapable of mastering the Fryolater 3000 and other such intricacies any fry cook can handle with ease.
Fry cook is a rather difficult job. Try having twenty or thirty of your friends over and fix them each what they want to eat and see how easy it is.
Revenue enhancement technician is apparently much easier.
Well if you feel I have no credibility in this matter then feel free to ignore anything I type on this thread.
And that goes quadruple for drug cops and SWAT cops.
If the glove fits...
Go ahead and bash me too ...
This cop was po’d about having to run after the suspect and took it out on him...
Now, now.
Did the police look like these jokers policing a polling place?
Big bad kops...Tough guys...Hulk Hogan wannabes...They need to pay for a long, long time...
I wish I was on the jury...
Fifth of Four? What is that, a Borg designation?
;^)
You're right...You're wasting your time...What about the guys who's as good as dead???
If I'm in a dark alley with two unidentifiable thugs chasing me and someone yells, stop, police, I'll pick up the pace and try to get to safety just like the injured man did...Anyone can yell police...
They need to pay...There is no benefit of the doubt...There is no doubt...
Me too! And the way they were dragging him around and rollin him over afterwards while it was apparent he was unconscious was scary too.......
"cop queers" - good description of government union apologists.
Hitting someone full speed 8 feet in front of a cement wall would usually cause no injury??? You need to get out more...
The city should be libel for allowing this type of behaviour and be libel for not bringing charges...The Kop needs to go to jail...
You seem to have a limited 4 letter word vocabulary.........
Sometimes it is hard to stop your momentum when you have been chasing a guy for 2 1/2 blocks. You are dog tired and don't know what the guy will do next. All you want to do is get him down and get the chase over.
He had been running away for 2 1/2 blocks! He is just slowing down as he comes into camera range and the cop is still running to intercept him.
Just so you understand I see the kid in this article http://www.officer.com/web/online/Internal-Affairs-News/Fla-Officer-Found-Guilty-in-Coma-Causing-Crash/5$48171 almost weekly in my job ... in his case a cop was running 104mph outside his jurisdiction no lights or siren for no reason , the FHP covered up for him in the investigation .. he got a ticket in the end and is now working in another city...
I saw the video. You are a liar. Doom on you and your kind.
Why did this minimum wage guy feel it so important that he had to pay a guy $60 to drive him to an alley in Seattle in the middle of the night?
You almost diserve to be mauled by the ‘can’t do anything wrong cops for something you did not do. Get a life and spew it on some DU thread.
What witness, a random drunk, or a friend of the real perp?
" and the suspect was fleeing."
Not in the video! He barely broke a walk.
" The officer's actions are justified. "
BS. The officer's actions were guaranteed to bust that guy's head wide open, or break his neck.
