2 Mar 2009Above 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.
