I've been following this in the Seattle P.I., yesterday they gave a little background on Officer Schene:
Schene had previously been in the news in 2006 after he fatally shot Pedro Jo, a mentally ill man, during a struggle after a traffic stop on Interstate 5. It was the second officer-involved shooting of his career.
An inquest jury ruled the shooting was justified. Jo viciously attacked Schene, trying to strangle him with his own radio cord.
Jo then ran back to his car and disobeyed Schene's orders to stop. Schene said he saw Jo reach for something in the seat, so Schene fired 11 times after Jo ran back to his car.
Shortly after the shooting while on administrative leave, Schene was stopped for driving under the influence.
He had been drinking and taking prescription medication, according to court records. He received a deferred sentence and was placed on probation, records show.
For those viewers with a strong stomach, they have stitched together 11 minutes of video, showing before and the paramedics visit afterwards.

Assault and battery, bought & paid for with our tax dollars, as the charming traditions of Abu Ghraib trickle down from global to local . . .
ReplyDeleteNatural Law, Judge Thomas style. The sentence for shoe dissin' is severe beatings, started in Iraq continued here. Of course the beating could just be for being female, and SCOTUS is OK with that too.
ReplyDeleteGoogle's ad server gave me an ad on that video saying 'Jesus Loves You.'
ReplyDeleteGeneral Sir!
ReplyDeleteOf course the good KC Deputy was right to beat that Jezebel-in-training senseless! She probably insulted his manhood, which was fragile and vulnerable at the time. It was either that, or allow her to smile at having the last word.
Now, he couldn't have that, could he?
General, Sir:
ReplyDeleteMy inner frenchman Charles (pronounced "SHHHHHHHHarlz") says that he hopes the good deputy has his ass kicked numerous times for this one.
I was about to say "The deputy kicks like a girl!" but then I watched the video (can't do it at work, where I normally read Teh Gen) and realised it doesn't lend itself to funnies.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, "If this had been in Yugoslavia (I have occasional Serb and Croat patients) nobody would have had their pants on! And Officer sCheney (sic intentionally) would have liked it that way."
Ditto on the weird Google ads with the clip -- I had one saying "Christian Singles -- find your true love match." Does teh Goggle have a sardonic sense of irony?
Punishment for kicking off a shoe at a deputy: a vicious beating. Punishment for throwing a shoe at an occupying nation's imperial leader? We won't know until after March 12th...
ReplyDeletePunishment for initiating the killing of a million Iraqis, while sacrificing the health and welfare of thousands of American soldiers and nearly bankrupting the treasury of the United States of America? Our ex-Emperor has to live in Dallas, Texas.
Last add: the deputy took the defiant act of kicking off one's shoe personally. Perhaps he is an investor in the correctional institution, and felt that his money was threatened by the assault? Or maybe, just maybe, his penis had shrunk two sizes that day?
