First and foremost, the officer clearly should not be doing that. I would agree that there should be some sort of consequence for his actions that is proportional to his behavior. He didn't put anyone in a fatal chokehold but his actions are clearly wrong. Perhaps we would be able to better vet officers from a larger pool if we didn't get in our own way and replace cops like this. We are in a precarious situation. Police are a necessity and police reform should be a priority but the way it has been handled clearly isn't working in Seattle. It would be nice to see some balance here as well. It is important to expose this kind of behavior but I rarely see articles about specific crimes perpetrated in Cap Hill or downtown.

Seattle's finest.

@1: "but I rarely see articles about specific crimes perpetrated in Cap Hill or downtown."

And you never will from Ashley.

So, we pay him for 2 years, because it takes that interval or longer to make a few decisions. Or, is this one where they fire the guy and SPOG Laywers take up the case and force SPD to re-hire the creepy accused?
Uff da.

Yes of course. This guy sucks. But Ashley and TS obviously want us to extrapolate....um, duh, I guess all cops are bad right? ACAB right? So sick of it. Think. Form your own opinion. Depending on dumbass Stranger is the easy way. Believe me, I have done exactly that and I regret it.
