Video released 05/21/09 shows a burly King County sheriff's deputy slamming a man into a tiled wall earlier this month in what a sheriff's spokesman said was "a tragic accident." A lawyer for the family of 29-year-old Christopher Harris said the video and witness accounts show the Edmonds restaurant worker was a victim of excessive force by Deputy Matthew Paul, 26. As of late Thursday, Harris remained comatose and in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center, said Todd Keeling, his stepfather.
This sucked. Bad! The guy had stopped already.. robbery? BS. I know cops that have arrested terrorist with less force. Maybe a tazer? N if the clerk said he was armed maybe the officer should of drawn his weapon. This sucks. Hope the kid is ok... the department should be investigated!

wow. i really don;t know what to say about this other than if John Uquhart thinks what the officer did is acceptable due to probable cause then someone should detain him in a similar manner for inciting violence and conspiracy. Officer Matt Paul -in jail for manslaughter. The father of the victim said he didn't why his son was running. I think it was because there was a severely unhinged man with a gun running at him. I think most people would do the same. Kings Cty PD consider that...

@ccr5cxcr4 So you're the idiot that thinks this kind of thing is ok? the guy was standing still when he got slammed into the wall. and that's overlooking completely that he wasn't a danger to anyone at all. he didn't swing on the cop. the cop felt like hurting someone who couldn't fight back and that's what he did. Cops are fucking cowards! they're cowards that are tax payer funded

The problem I have is the guy is stopping, and the way he was roughed up after being knocked out. I mean at some point after he shoved him into the wall. The officer should have realized how bad he hurt the guy. WHo knows how much damage he did after the initial blow?

The guy is still paralyzed to this date. He'll never be able to walk, talk or feed himself. Sometimes, this can be worse than death. I hope the cop will get the same fate.
