She wasn't an off duty cop. She was on patrol in uniform and someone in the community called 911 and asked her to remove him. Sooooo... I'm not sure what good a lawyer would do to help a junkie who was trespassing and assaulting officers.

I'm married to one of the officers who was there that night.

Her job was to remove him from private property. She had to get close to him to forcibly remove him since he refused to comply. And he was on drugs, the artie doesn't mention that. Why do you feel it's ok to be placing blame on the officer because you have epilepsy? Perhaps you should think about the fact that you are getting a small, second hand account of the event. I'm assuming you were not there, nor do you know the officer or security guard to have heard the story as it happened. So have some respect for those out there being swung at and assaulted while you sleep soundly at night.

I would like to add that either Komo4 wasn't aware of the entire story or they chose to leave out the fact that this "mentally ill" man was high as a kite on PCP.
