Cop who killed Native man wasn’t charged either
Jenny Durkan, the former U.S. Attorney in Western Washington, recounts the death of John Williams, a Native woodcarver, at the hands of a police officer:
In 2010, I was the chief federal prosecutor in Seattle. That year, there were a number of high profile incidents involving use of force by Seattle Police officers. Many were caught on video (including one that showed a gang unit cop yelling he was going to “kick the f ***ing Mexican piss” out of a prone and unarmed suspect), and the images weren’t pretty.
“Cop who killed native man wasn’t charged either”. The “either” is not needed, in fact, that little word directly relates this to Mike Brown’s murder, taking the attention off of him, and therefore, diminishes the significance of that tragedy. All you have to say is cop killed native man and was not charged. I can guess you were trying to write or reblog something supportive, in solidarity with Ferguson, but I think this is sidetracking from it.
