VIDEO: Seattle police officer charged with assault in bust of teen drug suspect

Seattle police officer charged with assault in bust of teen drug suspect

SEATTLE -- A Seattle police officer was charged with assault Wednesday for allegedly kicking a teen during an arrest for an undercover drug buy-bust operation in a downtown convenience store last October.

The incident involving Officer James Lee was captured on surveillance tape. The video shows the plainclothes officer attacking the teen, who has his hands raised.

"We understand that our police officers have a dangerous job," Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes said in a statement. "They are thus permitted the legal ability to use reasonable force in apprehending people suspected of having committed a crime. When the force used is not reasonable under the circumstances, the officer must be held accountable."

But the Seattle Police Officer's Guild released a statement Wednesday evening that it "vehemently disagrees" with the city attorney's decision to file charges and that the charge is "rooted more in a desire to appease the 'anti-police' vocal minority than it is in sound legal principles."

Seattle Police Officers’ Guild President Rich O'Neill said Lee was attempting to take a fleeing suspect into custody, used verbal commands that were ignored and used a takedown tactic that was taught in advanced police classes.

"This decision sends a terrible message to not only police officers, but citizens and those individuals who choose to engage in illegal activities," O'Neill said in the response.

Lee, a 12-year veteran of the force, is on administrative reassignment. If convicted on the fourth-degree assault charge, a gross misdemeanor, Lee faces up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.

The teen was charged with first-degree attempted robbery but later acquitted in King County Superior Court. In February he filed a claim seeking $450,000 from the City or a jury trial, saying he was the victim of "unjustified and excessive force."

Lee's actions were among those listed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington and 34 community and civil-rights organizations in a request to the U.S. Justice Department to investigate whether Seattle police have engaged in a pattern of violating the civil rights of suspects, particularly minorities. A formal probe began recently.

Ah yes, the "Sloppily kick the shit out of someone as they stand cornered with their hands up" technique. Indispensable knowledge.

Police shout commands in tense situations and don't give people enough time to comply even if the situation were calm and relaxed like in training.

If you don't follow the command which can't be followed they then begin to assault you.

Shouting commands is simply a CYOA tactic.  The real goal is to force compliance by initiating violence.  Most people won't resist and will only get their asses beat, those who do resist mildly will be severely beaten and those who resist heavily or take up arms are killed and then used as an example:

"See, look at how dangerous things are, we have to use these kinds of tactics because bad guys like this will stop at nothing to hurt police!"

The further down the road we go the closer we come to lining people up and shooting them.
