Showing Original Post only (View all)Seattle officer won't be charged for punching handcuffed woman [View all]
SEATTLE, WA -- A Seattle police officer who punched a handcuffed woman will not face charges, reports KING5 in Seattle
The incident happened back on June 22. Officer Adley Shepherd was responding to a possible domestic violence incident in southeast Seattle that quickly escalated.
Police video shows the handcuffed woman, Miyekko Durden-Bosley, kicking Officer Shepherd. Officer Shepherd is then seen punching her.
Bosley says the blow broke an orbital bone, but Officer Shepherd's attorney, Eric Makus, says his client did what he needed to.

Yeah, and that's the problem. The cop who punched her in the face gets no charges at all

No, the decision to administer street justice was the linchpin. He should go to prison.

Well, I think the police are out of control. But I think if you kick anyone you might get punched.

I don't equate this with police shooting unarmed African Americans doing nothing wrong.

You justified a bigger male punching a young woman in the face and breaking bones.

You've actually responded (without saying anything) a few times already, Steve.

No, it isn't the police state or the oppressive culture but just the disproportionate nature of it

At this point, it would be news if a cop ever DID get charged for brutality.

Everyone is missing the main point. She is Black. Must have deserved it because she is black.

AFTER you are cuffed and in the back seat? A little payback is to be expected?
