Seattle police are to review training procedures after video of an officer punching a teenage girl circulated widely on US television and online.
The officer, Ian Walsh, has been transferred temporarily to the department's training unit, Seattle police said.
Police officials said the review of training procedures was not meant as a criticism of the officer's actions but would examine whether training could be improved.

I just wish the officer would have pummeled that buffalo a few more times. You know, for America.
He was 100% correct in punching that ho in the face.
To: chessplayer
No review needed. He did exactly what he should have in that situation.

Time to train the natives. If you assault an officer who is in the process of making an arrest you will be arrested and you may get hurt in the process.

It is hard to restrain someone really intent on resisting without hurting them . Officers need to patrol in pairs in many areas these days . Close the DMV two days a week and give these officers the support they need . It is a miracle more cops are not shot with their own weapons .

More K-9 units. They don’t sass a snarling dog.

A Hank Williams Jr. song came to mind after I watched the video:
“It was an attitude adjustment
It was her first time...”

They do need more training. I don’t think he broke her nose even.
To: chessplayer
I think more training should be done.
Did you see how she was still standing after that jab?

It would be MUCH more apropos to train some...ahem...of the residents of Seattle in the rudiments of civilized behavior and respect for the Law.

That’s a situation Jane Goodall couldn’t have defused.

Excellent idea.
You can’t accuse a vigilant German Shepherd of racism, “profiling” or a hate crime.
Drop the leash and let the demeanor God gave ‘em, take over.

Around here, the spectators would have intervened and we'd have had a small riot.

In hindsight, he should have backed off and put about 3 rounds center of mass.
