Oh snap!!!!!!

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

It's too bad this video didn't turn into a public service announcement of how difficult it is to jaywalk or resist an officer with taser probes stuck in your ass.

Those "ladies" should have followed these tips from Chris:

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.

I wonder if they sent her amber-lamps?

That was awesome. I foresee a race card being pulled.

There ya go.....

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.

I have a feeling it may be a cultural thing................

I do work at a night club that as a pure hip hop night that brings a lot of african americans.

The club is on a corner. Most nights ( unless someone's car happens to be parked directly across the street) people will walk to the corner and cross in the crosswalk area.

Not on these nights. folks will walk right out to the middle of the street and STAND THERE. they will cross against the light and YELL at the cars for driving. I've heard the actual words " I'm fucking walking here watch where your driving" again this is while the cars have the green light and the peds have the little red hand that says don't walk.


Must be a cultural thing.

good way to get ran over... and you probably deserve it if that's your attitude.
