No felony charges for SPD cop’s bone-breaking punch of handcuffed woman:
When are some of these cops ever going to learn?
After the decision came down from the King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg announced that his office would not seek a state felony charge against a cop Adley Shepherd, a nine-year department veteran, for punching a lady Miyekko Durden-Bosley in the face while she was handcuffed, federal prosecutors say they will review an incident.
The outcome of a federal investigations can have much greater consequences if the person is found guilty. The lady happens to be black and discrimination may come into play.
It is hard to imagine that a handcuffed women would be a threat to a cop and he would punch her in the face to protect himself.
The women was intoxicated and was verbally abusive after her arrest outside the home of a Seattle man whose mother had called the police. She resisted arrest, swore at the cop and kicked at him while being shoved into the back of a police cruiser.
Shepherd reacted by punching her in the face, fracturing the orbit of her right eye. The Robo Cop did not suffer any injuries.
Especially in light of what has happened in Cleveland where a cop shot and killed a 12 year old boy carrying a toy pistol – the Michael Brown incident in Ferguson, Missouri and the choke hold death of a man in the Big Apple; one with any commonsense would think that some cops would evaluate their situation a little closer and use more discretion before acting violently to whomever they are attempting to apprehend.
If the women in Seattle was not handcuffed that may have been mitigating circumstances.
