#1 Clearly the officer was attacked and it was the teen(s) that escalated the situation. The cop only pulled them aside to talk about the jay-walking, they verbally and physically attacked the officer.

#2 Having seen the video of this fracas I'm thinking the two women were lucky they didn't get tazed or worse. Why they decided the best course of action was to act a fool is beyond me.

#3 Why they decided the best course of action was to act a fool is beyond me.

Given the relatively large number of folks filming and photographing the incident as it unfolded I'd say they did it with the intent of extorting money from the city of Seattle.

#4 IIRC she was already on probation for a prior conviction. I don't think her apology is sincere

#5 I guess Owl Shawpt'n was too busy trying to stir up trouble down in Arizona. Man, he could've turned this into the second coming of Tawana Brawley.

#6 this is all true but, ya gotta admit, the arresting officer did take a little too long to get a 17 yr. old girl under arrest. I mean, c'mon, maybe the Seattle police should stay out of the donut shop for awhile, you know what I mean? Sheesh.
