Officer Adley Shepherd on patrol duty in South Seattle in 2009.
On June 22nd, 2014, Officer Shepherd responded to a domestic disturbance involving Miyekko Durden-Bosley, then 23, and another man. The decision was made by Shepherd to arrest Durden-Bosley, whom he placed in handcuffs, and walked to his cruiser. As Shepherd was attempting to seat Durden-Bosley into the back of his patrol car, she resisted arrest, and kicked the officer. Shepherd exclaimed, "You kicked me!" then, in what appeared to be a full-force right hook blow, the officer punched the defenseless woman in the face.
Durden-Bosley and her lawyers sued the police department for the officer's violent actions against a handcuffed subject while in police custody. Three separate investigations took place into the incident, and all the while, Shepherd was placed on paid leave from his duties on the force.
Comment: While it may be that Trump's worst tendencies and sensibilities are exacerbated, encouraged and ultimately brought to fruition by the deep state, we can now already see how the Donald's persona is being used to further fracture US society and drive people with fear and hate. The irony of course is that if Killary had been elected, she would have been dividing the American public with relish; conscious only of how it would serve her masters and further her own elite status. This fact is grotesquely lost on most of the anti-Trump protesters who should be calling for Killary's incarceration given all that's come to light. That would be a message worth screaming about.
