Seattle Cop Punches 17 Year Old Girl In The Face After Stopping Her For Jaywalking

Hide the women and kids, Seattle, Washington's finest are on the loose. And whatever you do don't jaywalk or you might get lumped up by the boys in blue.

Seattle Police Officer Ian Walsh punches a 17 year old girl in the face following a confrontation with her and a friend he stopped for jaywalking.

According to Walsh the girls became "verbally antagonistic" which set in motion a disastrous series of events.

As the cop detains one of the girls by grabbing her arm, another intervenes by pulling her friend away. She appears to push the officer who responds by punching her in the face.

Robert Bragg, the program manager for Seattle's Fitness and Force Training said a blow to the face was "well within the scope of appropriate responses to the situation."
