Seattle police are really good people, and I would be surprised to see this from them. That is a big reason I love the state of Washington. The Police here are WAY better than what I have seen on the news elsewhere.
A friend of mine, was just assaulted by the Cincinnati police a couple weeks ago. He crossed a street in front of them, they revved their engine at him so he flipped them off. Then they got out (at that time he realized who THEY were) needless to say they gave him the business, and told him "you ain't in Seattle no more, WE handle things differently here!"......
