The Office of Police Accountability, an independent agency tasked with investigating police misconduct, said on Friday, Oct.
Also under the contract, when the Office of Police Accountability believes an officer committed a crime, the office sends the case to the Seattle Police Department and asks for a criminal investigation — a system that the office's director, Andrew Myerberg, said is flawed because of a possible conflict of interest.
Story continuesThe Seattle Community Police Commission said disciplinary decisions for officers who used excessive force are being made under a flawed system created by the current police contracts. The contacts make it hard to fire a problem officer, allow guilty officers to appeal their case to a backlogged arbitration system, and keep the disciplinary cases closed to the public, the commission said.
Investigators said officers used appropriate force as they got the man to the ground, but “the six to eight punches used by the other officer were excessive, particularly because he failed to modulate his force as the threat subsided,” the report said. The accountability office received more than 13,000 complaints after a child attending a protest was hit in the face with pepper spray. A viral video of the May 30 incident shows the 8-year-old boy crying and screaming while another person pours milk down his face to ease the sting.

Just tell the rioters to start rioting at their Governors houses.
I’m sure the rioters used excessive force too. You get what you give.
You misspelled 'torture'
