Boy, That Escalated Quickly Don't Jaywalk in Seattle

Via the NY Daily News comes video of a Seattle cop attempting to arrest a 17 year old for jaywalking...



Again, this was for jaywalking.

Things began when an unnamed police officer spotted a teen jaywalking across Martin Lurther King Jr. Way South around 3:10 p.m.

"The officer instructed the females to step over to his vehicle," officials said. "They were verbally antagonistic."

When one of the women, a 19-year-old, began to walk away, the officer approached her and escorted her back.

"The female subject began to tense up her arm and pull away from the officer while yelling at him," police said.

Then as the Officer is struggling with the teen, a second lady attempts to intervene/interfere...

As the officer and the 17-year-old struggled with one another, the woman can be seen pushing the officer, who then responds by punching her in the face.

The crowd reacted with shock, and a voice is heard saying, "Are you serious?!"

Yeah, it did.
