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.

most would wet their pants if the playing field were even

From my experience, that describes blacks in fights. Rarely are the numbers even. They behave when they're in the minority. When they have numbers, they attack without provocation, and usually from behind.

If you can’t figure out any other responses besides bow-and-scrape or punch-in-face, I suggest you stay inside.

Hmmm, that's funny. Because legally she's an adult.

And when they had their hands on the officer it really looked like all of his weapons were in very close proximity to their hands as well.

I can see it is impossible to have a rational conversation with you regarding LEO's due to your overall mistrust/hatred of them. So I'll stop trying.

“That whole jaywalking law is totally unreasonable and an abridgment of personal freedom and liberty.”

What are your thoughts on those pesky laws that require drivers to attempt to stop for jaywalkers. Don't they abridge drivers’ freedom to just keep on moving, with the flow of traffic? (Perhaps you just forgot the /sarc tag.)

She’s female, as far as I can remember, and she’s a fool to assume that the cop has anger issues against women because he punched a chick that was assaulting him while he was trying to deal with her friend. She might as well be a lib automatically accusing him of being racist because the wench was black.

You are correct! Many posters here have not watched the video, or have only seen the edited video. The LEOs actions were 100% justified, and if you read the comments at the link, 99.99% of those posters agree with the officer, and castigate KOMO for the way it titled and wrote the article, posted the pic, and edited the video!

LEO's due to your overall mistrust/hatred of them.

Listen - I distrust all LEOs - be it from the local sheriff's office or the BATF - I'm funny that way. I view all their moves with "healthy skepticism".

I know what you do, hairbag. If I had my druthers, I would have recruited 5,000 of you from the city in 2002 and Bin Laden would have been killed in 2002

NYC coppers are the best in the nation (I know). Stand down already.

For all of you who think this cop acted appropriately let's put this into perspective. The crime was "Jaywalking", hardly anything that required this cop to get upset about. Most cops wouldn't have bothered even stopping the girls let alone tried to arrest them. This is typical of liberal laws. Laws that accomplish nothing except to make criminals of all people. This guy should be fired for punching this girl in the face.

Oh, yeah, the poster who said this girl used violence to help free her friend had better look up the meaning of the word. Touching someone doesn't constitute violence.

The area she was cited for Jaywalking, right across the street from a High School. No doubt, she and her friends, were lazy strolling, with that smug look on their faces. So, the cops are called to control the streets, then the girls start putting on the real show, with buddies with cameras. A pure set up, and the girl got exactly what she deserved, a shocking blow that kept her off of him.

Not sure why, but lots of black folks love to Jaywalk, with that “hate whitey” look peering through the windshield as they do it. Some strange reason, they get off on that...

The fact you’re Catholic is a positive step forward.

you are correct......i have bashed bush a few times(maybe more than a few) i am a conservative first, no a constitutionalist first..bush 1 was a new world order guy, and the apple does not fall far from the tree....”compassionate conservatism” is nothing more than socialism at a slower pace...so yeah, i bashed bush on a regular basis....but I also bashed bush 1, clinton, obama, johnson, kennedy and any other socilaist or socialist lite...this is a conservative website, if you wanna be centrist or socilalist, post somewhere else

"What are your thoughts on those pesky laws that require drivers to attempt to stop for jaywalkers. "

They should be abolished too. We have way too many laws, most of which don't seriously affect behavior.

How would make sure there was never, ever a pedestrian/vehicle collision again? Zer0 likes to pass laws to attempt to fix life. Won't happen.
