The lawsuit alleged discrimination and excessive force by a Snohomish County deputy who tackled and arrested the woman while she was running to catch a bus.
Jesus Christ, that stories gets worse and worse. The title underplays it. There was not even the slightest reason to detain her (let alone tackle her). And he tried to ban her from public transit for some reason, which was her only method of transportation and necessary for work.
That $75k should have been straight from the officer’s wallet. And fuck everyone involved in perpetrating that bullshit situation.
