She was a stupid little heifer, but she in no way deserved that. If it were your sister you would be looking for blood. I hope they put his ass under the jail. If he were to get off, and I was her family, that cowardly bully would come up missing.
OMG!! That cop is bad
OMG!! Hit her more
OMG!! That was my car stolen let me hit her too
SEATTLE (AP) — A King County sheriff's deputy kicks a 15-year-old girl, slams her to the floor of a jail cell, strikes her and pulls her hair in violence captured on videotape.
Prosecutors released the surveillance video Friday in the assault case against Deputy Paul Schene, who is accused of using excessive force on the girl. Schene, 31, pleaded not guilty to fourth-degree assault in Superior Court on Thursday.
The incident last November began after the girl was brought in for an auto theft investigation, according to court do ents. The footage shows the attack beginning after the girl enters the cell at suburban SeaTac City Hall and kicks off one of her shoes toward the deputy.
"We believe this case is beyond just police misconduct, it's criminal misconduct," King County Prosecutor Daniel Satterberg said. "This is clearly excessive force."
Schene was investigated previously for shooting two people — killing one — in the line of duty in 2002 and 2006. Both times his actions were found to be justified, said Ian Goodhew, prosecutor's deputy chief of staff.
Calls by The Associated Press to Schene's lawyer, Anne Bremner, were not immediately returned Friday. Bremner, however, released a statement to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in which she said the video does not tell the whole story. Bremner had asked Judge Catherine Shaffer not to release the video to the media.
"As we argued to the judge, it will inflame public opinion and will severely impact the deputy's right to a fair trial," Bremner said.
In the video, a deputy kicks the girl, pushing her back toward the wall. The deputy then strongly backs the girl against the wall and slams her to the floor by grabbing her hair. A second deputy enters the holding cell, while the first deputy holds the girl face down to the floor. The first deputy appears to hit the girl with his hands. The girl is then lifted up and led out of the cell while the first deputy holds her hair.
The second officer shown in the video was a trainee at the time and is not under investigation, Goodhew said.
According to court do ents, the girl complained of breathing problems after the incident and medics were called to check her. A short time later, she was taken to a youth detention center and booked for investigation of auto theft and third-degree assault, the latter accusation dealing with her conduct toward the deputy. The girl has pleaded not guilty to taking a motor vehicle without permission, Goodhew said Friday, adding she was never formally charged with assault.
Schene told investigators through an e-mail conversation with his lawyer that once he was assaulted by the girl kicking her shoe at him, he entered the cell to "prevent another assault," according to court do ents. Schene also said the girl failed to comply with instructions in the holding area.
Prosecutors said Schene did not explain why he struck the girl after he had her in a holding position on the floor.

That's totally inappropriate. It's an infringement on her cons utional rights. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!!
WoW
The Franchise why is your name red and I think I saw mouses as green. What have I miss?
She's a 15 year old girl. That's ed up regardless if she's guilty or not.
Take away his badge, throw him in jail. this is ridiculous.
the girls not innocent, but i say throw the cop in jail and let him get raped by the other prisoners
She ate a hard lunging, semi hook jab to the face. That guy looks about 6'1 210 semi built ish. Maybe she should keep her shoes on next time. Over the line though.
I am on the fence with this one. I don't care for cops much and I hate 15 year old teenage ugly s who steal and run there mouths. The dude will lose his job so another dumb cop is off the street and the teenage just might keep that mouth shut next time. Its a win win for me.
I know a smartmouth, smartass 15 yr old can push a person to their breaking point, but he clearly over reacted. That was a pretty weak effort she made with the shoe.
He was a little rough but we only see what happened in the cell. She thought it was OK to kick her shoe at him. Did she give him a lot of crap to finally piss him off? A 15 year old with a big mouth? No way!
That's how we roll up in the PNW!
I would say that MAYBE the punches were a little much after she was on the ground. Other than that, fair game. No way to know what went on before that, and though a little lame, she did kick her shoe at him. If I was in jail I wouldn't be doing anything along those lines. Unless I was a hardened criminal, which I doubt she is.
I thought so too. Flipping the shoe was totally provocative and set the officer off, but the officer's response was totally overcooked.
Her peers will have a close look at this incident for sure whether or not the charges against her stand. Unfortunately, some of them are on the vid too.
The guy on her back randomly started punching her at some point. What ever happened to him? or was that cool?

It was contemptuous.
But yeah. All she did was flip her shoe.
Some officers prefer Islamic submission to authority, and show it too much.
IMHO, the officer needs to learn how to keep his cool like Bush.
The Iraqis tenderized this perp. His behavior was contrary to the customary hospitality. Whatever happened to him?
It doesn't matter what she did to provoke him. Part of his job is to not lose it.
You can never be too careful. She may have been wearing these.

Are you people serious? The dude's a cop! there's a responsibility that comes with that. You can't kick someones ass just because she got on your nerves or threw a shoe at you. I don't give a if it was an annoying 15 year old girl.

Easy for you to say. Thing is we don't know the whole story from the start ,only the vid.
It doesn't matter what the rest of the story is, unless it was something life-threatening, like she pulled a gun that we couldn't see in the video. She's an unarmed suspect. He's a cop. He has a job to do and he failed.
