"William Wingate had been standing on a busy Seattle street corner in July and leaning on a golf club he uses as a cane. That’s when a police cruiser pulled up, stopped, and the officer inside yelled that he “put that down.” The resulting exchange — in which the white officer claims Wingate, an elderly black man, swung the club at her after she asked him to “shut it down” before she arrested him – was all captured on the cruiser’s dashboard camera, the footage of which Seattle Police released this week as it apologized for the incident." - rønin
