As a rookie, Briskey was sued for manhandling Romelle Bradford, a Black youth volunteer, and arresting him on a bogus contempt-of-cop charge. (4/ )

In 2006, when Briskey was a rookie on the force, he was called by the Rainier Vista Boys & Girls Club about a possible fight breaking out at an event. By the time Briskey arrived, club staff had gotten it under control. (3/24)

A few years later, Briskey was sued again for incident in which he and several other officers beat, tasered and wrongfully arrested a sleeping man. (5/ )

In 2010, Naita Saechao was attending a friend's birthday party, when he grew tired and decided to go take a nap on a bed in the basement. A fight broke out and one of the partygoers slashed someone with a pocket knife... (2/13) seattletimes.com/seattle-news/s

He was also sued over a noise complaint that turned into a bloody melee, when Briskey and slew of cops charged a backyard party in Columbia City. During the chaos Briskey stomped a man's shin, fracturing it. (6/ )

While much of the complaint deals with Bauer’s shovel rampage, Briskey makes a brief appearance. According to documents, he cornered Mr. A, tasered him, struck him with a baton and stomped his leg. Mr A was charged with assault and arrested (19/24)

Later, when Briskey was working in the gang unit, he & his partner Adley Shepherd profiled some Black youth waiting for their ride outside a movie theater, raising the ire of the NAACP. (note: Shepherd was ultimately fired for beating a handcuffed woman)

In addition to the Saechao and Bradford cases, there’s another red flag on Briskey’s record: He was later accused of racial profiling by the NAACP during his time in the SPD Gang Unit. (9/24) thestranger.com/slog/archives/

According to the rosters, Bach was the acting lieutenant in the southwest precinct on the day of the riots. But on Jan. 7 he is listed as a sergeant. Could be a coincidence... (9/ )

Bach has three active investigations, including the one for involvement in the Capitol rally and another for "integrity and ethics" (10/ )

Like Everett and Rochelle, Marchione was hired in 2017 and has averaged two complaints a year. In one, a Black man alleged that Marchione broke his wrist during a hard takedown. 45% of Marchione's uses of force have been against Black people (SPD avg=30%)(13/)

If he was on the anti-crime team in the 2000s, then he definitely has more than a few police brutality allegations (ACT is full of SPDs most brutal), but we would need to do a PDR to get that info.

WTF is wrong w/ these people? My old man retired as a detective on a much larger PD than Seattle. 25 years & never once fired a shot at another person, never got sued. Anyone who gets two OPA complaints should be fired & barred from LEO work for life.
