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. Walsh approached the group and was attempting to gather information when Levias began walking away, documents stated.
He said to her, "You have jaywalked and you are required to identify yourself so that I can issue a citation, if you refuse you will be arrested for obstruction." Levias continued to walk away, the officer said.
At this time, a witness started recording video of the scene.
Walsh walked up to Levias and grabbed her arm and attempted to handcuff her, but "Levias began twisting around and pull away in an attempt to get away," documents said. As Walsh was handcuffing Levias, the 17-year-old girl ran up behind Walsh and pushed him, and a struggle ensued. The video shows Walsh throwing a punch and hitting the 17-year-old girl.
The 17-year-old was handcuffed and booked into the Youth Services Center for investigation of felony assault.
Levias was pulled away by witnesses, documents said. She was arrested and booked into the King County Jail for obstructing a police officer. CBS Affiliate KIRO found court records that show Levias has been arrested for assaulting a police officer before. According to court documents, Levias kicked a King County Sheriff's deputy in the stomach while she resisted arrest at the Ruth Dykeman Center in Burien. She was living in the center last year in the care of Child Protective Services.
Yes, she is a fine upstanding citizen---

This is an online forum where people post their opinions. You have, in several posts, referred to others as racist, racebaiters, etc. So, surely you shouldn't have any problem with someone responding to you in kind.
Additionally, I don't expect you or your cohorts in this (or any other thread on the forum) to ever acknowledge your own bigotry, racism or general lack of class/decency. So just as you are unconcerned about my "cries of racist," I am unimpressed by your lackluster attempt at sidestepping the issue.

It happens around the 30 second mark. Seems to me this could have been handled differently. Seattle police have already got a rep of beating on people..mostly minorities of course. This will just add to it..
looks like a clear cut resisting arrest and interfering, nothing wrong here, in fact he should have called for back up and arrested the ignoramus yelling "are you serious".

You conveniently omitted this section.
Seattle Deputy Police Chief Nick Metz:

"Force never looks good. It's never pretty," Metz said. But he also noted, "We do have a number of concerns about the tactics the officer used and employed at the time."
2) He felt (as do many of the fellow bigots here on C-D) that it was ok to punch the girl because she is Black I doubt that he would have done that to an unruly White girl in the same scenario. However he would have been wrong just the same. ...
are you f**king kidding me?
you're a bigot.
don't make baseless claims if you can't back it up.
i hate, i HATE people like you who say **** like this.
i'm glad he punched her in the face. whether she's black, white, asian, or damn panda bear.
these kids need to learn its not ok to f**k with the law.
edit: sorry, i see hoodlums every day doing everything they can to cheat/hurt people and do whatever they can to make life miserable for people around them.
decent people are becoming scarce. law enforcement is here to protect the community from people like her.
