SEATTLE -- Seattle police are investigating what they call an assault of an officer in South Seattle. However, a police officer is seen punching a 17-year-old girl in the face during the incident captured by a video camera on Monday.

According to Seattle police, the incident began when an officer spotted a man jaywalking in the 3100 block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way S. at approximately 3:10 p.m. The man was some 15 feet away from a pedestrian overpass, police said.

Well, yes...and for anyone who actually watches the video, and didn’t come with an agenda.

Not sure where you live homeo but if you push a cop where I grew up or have lived you can expect to get manhandled or punched and arrested.

I ask you Crimster, “what if everyone just ignored cops and pushed them around?”

less traffic tickets admittedly but then what?

some third world type culture where we have no semblence of authority

have you ever lived anywhere like that?

I have and it’s a scary place to raise kids or let your womenfolk drive at night

If instead of being females...

Well, they definitely weren't ladies.

If a fair jury sees this they will give the officer the “medal for courageous restraint”, put the 2 females in orange prison jumpsuits and chastise the racist crowd for uncivilized behavior.

I tell you what...with the crap that goes down in my town...if I got stopped for “jaywalking” I’d be cussing up a storm too...but then again ...I have the awareness to call for the guys supervisor.

There is the problem. Had the women said, "Yes sir, no sir, we won't do it again sir", they probably would have gotten off with an ass chewing.

When they started in with the "You can't tell me what to do you white mother f**ker!".....their mouth wrote a check that their ass couldn't carry.

I say give the cop a promotion.

See the post below yours...yeah we got cops like that around here too.... in the burbs....almost all of them are complete asholes...

They’d have pulled a gun, ordered them on the ground...and called SWAT for back up...

Most “city” cops have higher priorities than jaywalking scofflaws...

Punching a girl in the face while on duty and on camera is not very smart in any situation.

While I've been in situations where I was tempted to do just that....it doesn't matter if there was a camera or not...punching a 17 year old girl in the face is not something a real man would ever consider doing...only a power-hungry jack booted thug "peace officer"...but I repeat myself.

And the thing is, I don’t give a damn what culture Blacks develop for themselves as long as it’s not self-destructive, or destructive outside their culture.

What Blacks are doing to themselves is a tragedy.

I gain no pleasure from it. And it’s a drag on the nation as a whole too.

I’m going to return to the entertainment industry though. I think it has been an extremely destructive force for Black culture. Now that it’s spreading outward, it’s clear this really shouldn’t be allowed to continue.

Amen to all that.

A lot of the "minority community" just don't 'do' authority...which may explain why unemployment is an issue.

I live north of that area, but I know what you mean. I used to know the local LEOs who patrolled my neighborhood, and they were always stopping to talk to us while we were out playing or walking to the local playground. Unfortunately the SO has been spread thin in Pinellas due to the folding of many local PDs (Dunedin comes to mind), and so the community feel of the SO has been replaced by a sort of gung ho mentality in the less safe areas of the county.

Yeah, when Bambi finds himself his “ass to kick”, I have a pretty good idea whose thighs and glutes are actually going to be driving the kick. ;-)

I had 2 drunk CA off-duty cops beat me and give me a concussion for sitting in the wrong place. A public picnic table.

I was 165lbs and combined the two of them were close to 450lbs.

Their wives cheered them on while it happened.

The cop should lose his job and be prosecuted. If he can’t control the situation with a 17 year old girl then he has no business being a cop. Just another thug with a badge.

Would you feel better if white cops didn’t care whether black pedestrians got run over?
