| Punched Seattle teen apologizes to police officer | |
| 2010-06-19 | |
 Ay-Pee . . .Seattle police say Officer Ian Walsh accepted the apology Friday. I'd say the officer showed about the right amount of restraint. The gal was hell-bent on making sure the situation got out of control, and the officer gave her every chance he could before he reacted. I'll bet she was counting on the idea that "gentlemen don't hit ladies", but forgot that this is based on her acting like a lady in the first place.

| #6 this is all true but, ya gotta admit, the arresting officer did take a little too long to get a 17 yr. old girl under arrest. I mean, c'mon, maybe the Seattle police should stay out of the donut shop for awhile, you know what I mean? Sheesh. |

| #5 I guess Owl Shawpt'n was too busy trying to stir up trouble down in Arizona. Man, he could've turned this into the second coming of Tawana Brawley. |

| #4 IIRC she was already on probation for a prior conviction. I don't think her apology is sincere |

| #3 Why they decided the best course of action was to act a fool is beyond me. Given the relatively large number of folks filming and photographing the incident as it unfolded I'd say they did it with the intent of extorting money from the city of Seattle. |

| #2 Having seen the video of this fracas I'm thinking the two women were lucky they didn't get tazed or worse. Why they decided the best course of action was to act a fool is beyond me. |

| #1 Clearly the officer was attacked and it was the teen(s) that escalated the situation. The cop only pulled them aside to talk about the jay-walking, they verbally and physically attacked the officer. |
