Seattle PD and the Union already came out and said they were backing the officer. I love when people catch stuff on tape to support idiocracy

The interesting thing there is that the video was originally being used to show "just how out-of-hand and abusive the officer was. Now it's evidence FOR the officer and AGAINST the girls.

the key to trying to use video to support your position is that you have to make sure you're in a good position to start with.

I'm sure that officer would have preferred to go home that day without having to strike a 17yo girl, but (to use a cheesy line), Play with the bull, get the horns.

Good punch.

Different take on things: I think the punch was justified. Taser wouldn't be a "smart" work as there were two of the girls, plus a crowd. The crowd could've gotten involved while teh cop was tasing and trying to subdue the first girl. Last time I was tazed, for each pull of the trigger a different cartridge had to be inserted which took up to several seconds. Asp would've been an option but then people would scream Rodeny King. Pepper spray might've worked, but again there is the other girl and the crowd to worry about. If the officer accidently got some in his eyes, etc... bad ju-ju. He could've just pulled the gun, but things could've gone south really quick doing that... I thought an old school beat down was more than appropiate and I must also conclude that he didn't hit her hard enough.

mmk, in accordance with the Chris Rock school for not getting my ass beat by the police, You aren't riding in my car... ever.

HAHA, no, no. I wasn't in trouble or anything. I have no record beyond a speeding ticket over 5 years old. To the explanation: I was tazed, sprayed, and even got to run the "house" with some folks I know for the experience.

I wonder if they sent her amber-lamps?

here's something interesting.....

I saw this on glocktalk (insert derogatory comment here) I even stole the link

at 1:32 it looks like a guy is standing behind the officer holding a gun.

Omg, if that was a gun I'm so happy that it ended the way it did.

I grew up in NYC and am very familiar with Al Sharpton, he's just a pure and simple racist, no question in my mind. He can manipulate any situation to his own ends. He's a disgrace and IMO is the worst thing for the African American Community.

Calm down, that's a phone

As far as jaywalking goes it's the law for a reason. You don't need a bunch of a$$hats thinking they can just walk out into the street when and where they want. That would be a major safety risk to the pedestrians and vehicles.

Good to hear the PD is backing him.
