(May 8) — A Seattle police officer offered a tearful apology after being caught on camera kicking an innocent man and using a racial epithet. The video shows a group of officers standing around three men who are lying on the ground. Seattle Police Detective Shandy Cobane shouts, “I’m going to beat the [expletive] Mexican [expletive] out of you homey! You feel me?” Cobane later kicks the man in the head and another cop kicks him in the hand. The detective sobbed as he gave a news conference on Friday to apologize to the Latino community, his colleagues and the city of Seattle, The Seattle Times reported. “I know my words cut deep and were very hurtful,” Cobane said. “Please know that I am truly, truly sorry.” The video was shot by a freelance videographer at around 2 am on April 17. The incident in question took place as officers were investigating an armed robbery in Seattle’s Westlake neighborhood. The 911 call reporting the crime had described the suspects as Hispanic. The man attacked was not involved in the robbery. After officers let him go, the freelance videographer asked the unidentified man why he had been beaten. “I don’t know. They knocked me down and kicked me in the head,” he responded. Cobane and another officer have been placed on administrative leave. The city’s police department is carrying out an internal investigation, according to the Times. Seattle police learned of the event a few days after the incident, and launched the investigation soon after …
Females should not be cops. They’re on this power trip like they are tough or something, but that’s just the annoying part. It gets to be dangerous when you have these women who are not physically able to manage a situation and therefore either get hurt in the process or panic and use excessive force to establish control, whether it be through taser, assault, etc.
@kambelzful i like how u say sometimes cops r useful
@tach69 because they are SOMETIMES, not always, not always.
Thank goodness for video cameras and those that use them.
@kambelzful seems they are’nt doing their jobs of arresting said car theives if cars have been stolen five times between 2 neighbors so obviously they ai’nt doing to good of a job
@libbern ok number one if there were decent cops you’d think they’d get mad at all the “bad cops” giving them a “bad name” and arrest them or even fire them and not let them work in another police dept. but that’s what usually happens so your “good cops” are fucking cowards just like the “bad cops” they just watch each other backs and leech off the taxpayers and all cops do now is generate revenue for the state they do not protect and serve the citizens wake up
@horismoku they have been stolen by different people each time.
@kambelzful like i said not doing their jobs if they were doing their jobs and catching real criminals instead of going after drug users (not so much the dealers but the users) and such just to generate revenue for the state then you might have a point but cops are just revenue generators they are not here to protect and serve us it’s more like protect the dollar and serve the state nowadays have a nice day
@horismoku
Well, I should’nt really write anything against you as I live in Norway and havent bumped into american police. All I can say is that over here, the police go way to easy on people. And if an officer attacks a violent prick, the court is likely to punish him for an action he commited in self defense. In other words, its the other way around… that isnt good either^^
@libbern maybe it’s different over there idk but here cops do ALOT of fucked up shit to innocent people trust me i’m not a person who’s suporting criminal activity i myself have been the victem of a few attempted muggings and i have dealt with it myself and i believe armed citizens are a better deterent to crime than cops cops only investigate crime they really do’nt deter it but our judicial system here works for violent offenders and dirty cops and against non violent drug offenders cont
@libbern and the cops are basically only revenue collectors for the state instead of peace officers idk maybe i need to speed up the trip to norway i’ve been plaqning with my girlfriend i love your country lol take care and be well
@horismoku
Yeah. Just keep in mind that its EXPENSIVE over here:) And dont go to Oslo, its an ugly city in my view. Check out the western parts of the country and our nature.
Thanks. You two.
@libbern oh yeah i know how expensive it is and thanks for the heads up on oslo i’ll be trying to make it a working vacation i’m trying to find a tattoo shop to guest spot in great thing about being a tattoo artist is you get to travel alot lol take care bro
Pigs.
now don’t say anything about me kicking you and talking down to you i could get ,O hell that’s right your a Mexican i can do anything to you i want .now be at my house tomorrow and clean the dog shit out of my yard and i will give you an autograph photo of me because i am a policeman and i can do anything i want to.
You cops better mind your P’s and Q’s.. Some people still live by the feud, blood feud! How would you like it, if someone hunted you down for the bullshit you pull on people? You’d be out in your backyard grillin weenies for your kids, and in the blink of an eye, your brains become the condiments! If you keep whoring for the statist tyrants, instead of protecting the people from them, YOU are going to pay for it first!
CHOOSE!
@horismoku Man you are rite on the money about the cops and the judicial system. It’s a giant corrupt corporation.
