Separately, the King County prosecutor charged the 17-year-old girl as a juvenile with third-degree assault. That's punishable by a maximum 30 days in detention.

The incident happened Monday as the teen was intervening in a friend's arrest for jaywalking. James Kelly of the Urban League of Seattle told KOMO-TV he requested the meeting between the teen and the officer to help calm the situation.

Police have said the department's civilian-led Office of Professional Accountability is investigating the 39-year-old officer's actions.

Prosecutor Dan Satterberg says, "the law is clear, you can't shove a police officer, period."
That's interesting. When I saw the whole video, at the end when she gets put in the car, she looked like she was thinking. "How did I get into this?" The cameraman came up and said something like, "I got it all on camera." But she didn't look happy about it or angry. She looked like she was sad.
