"The Ron and Don Show" on KIRO radio questioned whether a bystander is pictured carrying a gun in the video, and some seattlepi.com readers raised the same question. Police are investigating the video and entire incident, but have not determined a gun was involved, Seattle Police Department spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said Tuesday night.
Did anyone see a gun?

At the 17-year-old's court hearing Tuesday, the prosecutor asked a judge to keep the teen in juvenile detention, saying she's a threat to the community and noting her minor criminal record that included a deferred prosecution for theft of a motor vehicle.
What a lovely young girl

Between 2002 and 2006 more jaywalkers were hit by vehicles on Rainier Avenue South than in any other corridor in the city.
During that period, 61 pedestrians were struck while jaywalking on Rainier Avenue South -- nearly double the number of accidents on Aurora Avenue North, which had the second highest number of jaywalkers hit with 35, according to Seattle Transportation Department records.
Why they're going after Jaywalkers

Of course they did. It simply cannot happen anymore when a white cop arrests/beats a minority suspect that racism isnt front and center in the whole thing in the following days. There is little doubt that it happens, though the frequence has gone down tremendously, but with every phone a video camera now cops understand they cannot use excessive force. That being said, excessive force and necessary force are being convoluted by the complainents way too often.
This woman got everything she deserved, maybe even less, for being a complete buffoon and interfering with a police officer executing his duties.
Wow, the more I see that, the more I realize how well he actually did handle the situation. He had the beginnings of a mini mob on his hands. The pink shirt chick certainly behaved herself well after losing a chicklet or two.
I hope this doesn't turn into any kind of a Rodney King deal when this officer is cleared of any wrongdoings. It's unfortunate the race card must come up time and time again in these situations.
Great work by the officer. Also happy it did not end tragically for him.
Hope ######ed feminists and african-american leaders don't get their way and get a cop that is obviously experienced and has enough skill to handle tough situations fired or penalized.
Of course they did. It simply cannot happen anymore when a white cop arrests/beats a minority suspect that racism isnt front and center in the whole thing in the following days.
IMO, the easiest way to identify a racist person is by how fast they claim racism themselves.

He could have. But the point a lot of people are making is that the cop showed great restraint to not just slam the chick down on the hood of the car to throw the cuffs on.
Sure it took him a little more time, but despite how much the chick was resisting, the cop still managed to get the cuffs on withouth hurting her.

Big difference though, this cop did good, those cops did not. Cooler heads will prevail. A feew jackasses will try to self-promote, but I wonder if even Jesse Jackson will choose not to take up this one.

DEREK: True enough. The point is... if Dan was walking across the street that night and Rodney King plowed into him -
DORIS: Can we forget about Rodney King for chrissake?!
DEREK: - while hopped up on Chivas and P.C.P... you'd consider the force those cops used to be justified!
DORIS: He didn't hit anybody!
DEREK: If he did though! If that *oh dear* killed Dan... you would have believed the beating to be justified and so would everybody else. But since he didn't hit anyone... it's "Hands Across America" for the *not nice*. We are still so hung up in this notion that we have an obligation to help the struggling black man and all you contribute to it! Lincoln freed the slaves a hundred and thirty years ago! Get off your *oh my* asses!

Dude, I was raised in a family with three sisters, and a don't hit woman rule.
This situation is completely different. They escalated the situation, not the cop. They chose to raise his suspicions by walking away from him and dismissing him when he's trying to serve the law.
They became abusive not him. they showed that they were unwilling to be reasonable not him. They probably throught, a big crowd we can act like moron's but people will side with us because we're girls, and we're black, and everyone hates the police.
Don't put this as a guy beating down a girl. this is a cop, these girls acted criminally, they defied logic by assaulting a cop over what would have probably been a 30 dollar ticket.
My sympathy stops when someone dials thier lever to moron.

The cop could of handled that better. You NEVER under any circumstance hit a woman.

Yeah, that's a stupid rule.
I can think of a any number of situations where it's okay to hit a woman. Do any of those situations involve me escalting a situation where a woman is being reasonable? Of course not, but being a cop and having a woman resist arrest, try to hit you, and possibly grabs at your belt (you know, where your gun is), is right near the top of that list.
