Rantz: King County won’t charge criminals assaulting cops while resisting arrest

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg will “not file [charges] when the assault can be best described as resisting” an arrest from an officer, his office confirms. This position is deeply troubling to law enforcement officers, and King County Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht says “we need to rethink this.”

This news comes as the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH was tipped off to an incident, where a King County Sheriff’s deputy was kicked in the groin by a 20-year-old female suspect in tall leather boots. She appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.

 

After Satterberg’s office reviewed the case, the suspect was not charged with assaulting the officer.

King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office confirmed, in an email statement via a spokesperson, that they will only charge assault in the third degree, “if the assault can best be described as an intentional attack on the officer and the officer has an injury or experiences significant pain as a result of the assault.”

“From my reading of the deputy’s report, I would say it would seem like it was an intentional kick at the deputy,” Sheriff Johanknecht said. “And that I truly believe him when he says he was in pain about that. You know there’s all kinds of things that come into play here, as you know, as to filing guidelines and all those other things … but I believe the deputy was hurt, not enough to, thank goodness, be hospitalized. But a lot of pain.”

Getting kicked in the groin by someone wearing boots does not cause significant pain?

 

I wonder where Seattle and King County will find police officers?

Seattle is dying......

Most cities run by liberals are dying, or will.

Sheriff sounds like a pusillanimous moonbeam herself, honestly.

No respect for authority has been a creeping disease in our world,  and the disease progresses.

I lived in WA for 15 years. It's sad what Seattle has become.

I've got a son that lives in Portland and is ready to leave.  As bad or worse than Seattle.  

 

He is considering Arizona now.  All depends on if his in-laws OK the move!  LOL

We live in a Seattle suburb, and now avoid going to Seattle due the garbage, filth, and bums everywhere. Oh, should I be PC and say homeless?  Nah, they are bums. The local politicos are, like T-bone said, a bunch of moonbeam, flakes.

 

Surprisingly, the housing market is still tight. If it flips to a seller's market, I will be outta here.

I have heard that Seattle is having a hard time filling vacant positions for the police department. Do you know if that is actually the case?

People can just be so disgusting, no matter what city.  I was coming down the stairs to the subway in NYC a half hour ago, and some guy was sitting down near the bottom step.  As I got close to the bottom, he stood up, whipped it out, and took a leak on the steps in front of several of us.  No self respect, and none for others.
