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.
Did sheriff's deputies use excessive force on a 15-year old girl?

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 documents. 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.Read more

Really unbelievable

[slikrapid]

shameful police behavior, this should be punished (not only by suspension or a pay-check cut)

no matter what she may have done/said to him to provoke such a reaction does not justify it, they are free to charge her with obstruction or something similar, but physical violence like this is out of the question, especially towards a minor (15); actually, i'm surprised the prosecutors got such an obvious evidence

the passive policeman might also have a problem, he didn't try to stop this incident
