Seattle Cop Punches Black Woman Video?

A Seattle Police officer was caught on video, punching a black woman, 19-year-old Marilyn Levias, in the face with a clinched fist in the process of trying to arrest her. Moreover, the officer was yanking and pulling her clothes nearly off.

What happened and why did the Seattle police man punched the black woman on the face? What is wrong with cops these days?

Where can I see the youtube video of the cop who punched the woman?

The video shows Officer Ian P. Walsh trying to arrest 19-year-old Marilyn Levias. The two were already struggling when Levias' friend, a 17-year-old, pushed the officer, and he responded by punching the friend in the face.

According to probable cause documents, 19-year-old Marilyn Levias and a 17-year-old girl were in a group of four people who were jaywalking to get to their friend. "The officer instructed the females to step over to his vehicle," officials said. "They were verbally antagonistic."

Then in an altercation the teen can be seen pushing the officer, who then responds by punching her in the face.

The crowd reacted with shock, and a voice is heard saying, "Are you serious?!"

Uploaded on YouTube on Monday, June 14, 2010, the video from Komo News has swelled to 198,889 views -- and is followed by plenty of heated comments with folks on either side of the issue.

This is the video.

There is no class in the police academy that teaches recruits to use closed hand punches to the face.

TEEN ARRESTED FOR PUSHING COP wouldn't make the news so the "journalists" have to make the incident more sensational.

At what point did these bimbos think their conduct wasn't asking for trouble? 1) Don't violate the law in the presence of a cop 2) Don't put your hands on a cop unless you are willing to pay the consequences.

that was ****** up the girls might of been wrong but it dosen't give a cop a reason to punch a minor in the face, a little girl, if it had of been the other way around with a black cop in a white area punching a white girl then that black cop would have lost his job an got sued or some **** so i think that ******* should lose his job and somebody who ain't scary as hell should step up an say something about that because everybody know that **** wasn't right that is some racist ****
