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.
You're right. A good (and deserved) punch should have left this miscreant laying on the ground unconscious next to several of her teeth.
Great video, the Copper should have followed up with a left cross and another right jab and put the attacker on the mat for a ten count.
When a Cop tells you to do something, do it.
You can argue later.
Two attackers, each his size, both with previous assault rap sheets (one on another cop)? THIS is the value of the taser.
