Some arrest reports start different from others.
“The badge is the only thing preventing me from skull fucking you and dragging you down the street,” [Seattle Police Officer] Williams infamously told Oregon after pulling him from his car.
Well, the officer certainly sounds like a charming fella.
The guys were pulled over for speeding, and were only going about 50 mph.
But that didn’t stop the officers from treating them like they’d just murdered a family:
“How about you shut the fuck up?” one officer said as he first talked to driver Miguel Oregon and passenger Hugo Perez. When Oregon took his time getting out of the car, an officer reached inside, yanked him out, twisted his arm and pushed him toward the hood of a patrol car. … The following are but a few of the comments made by the officers to Oregon and Perez: “the badge is the only thing preventing me from skull fucking you and dragging you down the street.” “Don’t suck my dick here, alright?” “This is not Yakima any more, homeboy, this is the big city.”
Remember when the police force consisted of honorable, polite, men of the law that kids looked up to?
With examples like this, I wouldn’t want my child to aspire to be a police officer.
Most curiously, the officers claimed that the “torrent of profanities,” as Shapiro called it, represented a tactic used to de-escalate the situation.
Yes, because nothing de-escalates a situation like threatening to skullfuck someone.
The police department is now being sued by the victims, and if the victims win, of course taxpayers will pay.
The officers were suspended for 20 days. For behavior like this, they should be suspended for life.
