Is a Teen Kicking a Shoe Deserving of Getting Punched?

Above is a video of Deputy Paul Schene of King County, Washington kicking and punching a 15 year old teenager arrested for stealing a car last November. The girl can be seen kicking her show towards the officer which provoked a violent attack. The deputy, facing excessive force charges has declared himself not guilty. Defense attorneys are claiming that since the video has no sound it doesn’t tell the whole story. What on earth could this young woman have said to justify Schene’s actions?

Womanist Musings has a post up related to this horrible attack and gives a recent accounting of how black woman are impacted by police brutality.

[...] One comment here was curious to hear what the teen at the center of this horrific example of police brutality had to say. While there is no sound for the painful to watch, more painful to have lived, video, Malika Calhoun spoke to CBS the other day. The video of the attack is violent so feel free to listen and not watch. [...]

I don’t want to be harsh… but that is what make them authority. In Argentina police tries not to hit people because if they do then get problems with law… anyway, police don’t have authority and don’t work (i mean functionality).
