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.
Those idiots are lucky they didn’t get tased or shot.
I’m tellin’ ya - if I’m a cop [i’m not] and three or four angry people grab me, I’m defending myself.
What moroons. When a cop is trying to cuff you or your friend, you do not attack the cop. Just damn!
Simple isn’t it. Not all that hard to figure out at all.
Cited for J-Walking, or go to jail and face assault charges?
Hmmmm, tough call for some people.
They are more prone to violence proportionately.
It comes from not having proper parenting and is a problem beyond America.
If acknowledging what I see with my own eyes and have lived in for 53 years makes me racist then so be it.
Some FReepers think black culture is all Tom Sowell and the Cosby Show...not sure where those posters live.
Those who can escape it do...some take it with them..Pac Man etc but most don’t.
White trash culture is bad enuff and slipping from what it once was but it’s still not as bad.
This is a very large problem and growing....spreading beyond the black community...this drooge-ism
If the officer was "out of control", you would have seen follow on beatings, and some real ass whipping when the other female jumped on his back and started to try to choke him. He regained the initiative with one punch, and cut his opponents resistance in half. Handcuff the stunned girl in pink, survive the attack by the girl in black, handcuff her, and hope to God the crowd doesn't mob you before you can clear leather and open fire.
I can’t believe and i don’t know why some folks could scream & swear at a cop ???
Feel so bad for cops, i would respect them more & more & more !
Cop Fail bump.
Thank you Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obamah.
Exactly!.....
If you'd see Bellevue now, it resembles Irvine California. Lots of blah highrises in the "downtown" now.
There's some great Cab and Merlot being made around Yakima, but lots of illegals and their gangs to boot.
"People" don't do that.
decent punch but restrained....I was taught to punch through the target...his right shoulder is too far back
Obama has ordered his people to “get in their faces”.
Some of these clowns feel the power....... that Obama really doesn’t have.
He gave it away when he FAILED to be a REAL leader..... of ALL the people.
“My first thought was what did she do to deserve it.”
JWB...jaywalking while black.
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.
LOL...aint that the truth!
That's all I need to know.
If he would have followed through...she would have been on her back....
Senor Wences! :)
Very misleading headline there. This officer was in fear of his safety - the one girl was resisting - the second girl came in and put her hands on the officer - she’s lucky she walked away. The crowd was typical too...blame the cop for everything and the girls were just victims. They will probably bring race into it too.
Well then I guess that people should be able to freely jump from buildings onto crowds of innocent folks and sh!t on the sidewalks.
Frankly, I am fine with what you said and the above, as long as they keep it in the ghettos.
