Last fall, we discussed the case of a King County sheriff's deputy who was filmed beating a teenage girl in a holding cell.  This just in: he was fired.  It will be interesting to see if the firing is upheld.

It's nice to see there is movement in the situation.  The comments in the newspaper are all over the place - from (deserved) negativism about the teen victim's overall life and future to the apparent confusion about King County's death penalty law to asking why the other Deputy (a trainee) has not been brought up on charges as well.

In other words, just like APS, only in a newspaper. =D

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Yeah, and quite a bit less expensive.

the girl was a little snot, but the deputy deserves the charges.  i'm glad to see that someone was outraged enough tio see this through to his termination.
make the world idiot proof.....and you will have a world full of idiots. -g2
