新公布的奥本市逮捕视频解释了什么——它们能证明警员至少击打一名男子20次是正当的吗?这些视频补充了事发前后经过的记录,但并不能确定使用武力是否合法。如今,这一区别已成为调查的核心任务,而调查的负责人和范围仍不清楚。1 5

华盛顿州奥本市发生这起冲突的次日,即10月29日星期四,奥本警方公布了更多随身摄像机、车载摄像机和交通摄像机录像。警方还证实,这名33岁男子已被登记羁押,随后交保获释。涉事警员此前已被安排行政休假:KOMO刊载的警方周四声明称,这一决定是在“昨天”作出的,明确休假日期为10月28日。行政休假是临时用工措施,不代表认定有过错,也不代表洗清责任。11

新公布的录像补充了约一分钟的旁观者视频无法呈现的内容:警员走近男子、使用电击枪、试图给男子戴手铐,以及事后情况。但警员的随身摄像机在冲突中掉落,他事后的解释也包含对是否有人试图抢枪的疑问。更多录像不一定意味着能清楚呈现每个关键动作。1

摄像机记录了什么,又遗漏了什么

10月28日下午约3:15,警方接到报告称一名男子在奥本市北路与东北37街附近的车流中进进出出,并试图进入经过的车辆,随后派员前往现场。警方称,该男子不听从指令,一名警员使用了电击枪,警员试图给他戴手铐时双方发生肢体冲突。这些关于男子反抗的描述是警方的说法,并非已完成的调查结论。11

有目击者的说法支持事发时存在交通危险。附近汽车经销店员工托德·A·费伊老先生告诉KIRO 7,他陪一名顾客试驾时遇到了这名男子。费伊说,男子走到他们车前,随后在司机减速避让时抓住其他车辆的车门把手。费伊也质疑警员为何出拳,并表示警方还有其他机会缓和局势。他的说法对这两个问题都有参考价值:危险情形可能需要介入,但这并不能证明之后每一次使用武力都属必要。5

最初在网上流传的录像显示,一名警员骑跨在路上赤裸上身的男子身上,一只手按住他,另一只手出拳,随后换了拳头。男子举手护住自己;警员控制住他的一只手腕,同时继续击打。车辆从离他们只有几英尺的地方驶过。《西雅图时报》称至少击打了20拳,奥本报记者报估计约22拳。这两个数字都是相容的近似统计,并非经核实的精确总数。1 12

这段短视频中没有出现其他警员,而且没有拍到事发开端和后续情况。后来公布的录像显示现场有几名警员。首段视频的局限在于视野范围,而不是证明整个过程中只有该警员一人在场。1 12

《西雅图时报》对公布的18分钟随身摄像机录像的描述,提供了更完整的经过。警员走近路上的男子,命令他趴下,并警告说要使用电击枪。警员发射电击枪后,男子尖叫并倒地。警员将他翻过来,试图给他戴手铐,男子则试图转回身。此时男子是否试图打警员,并不清楚。1

随身摄像机画面记录到警员用紧握的拳头击打男子面部六次,随后摄像机掉落。接下来约三分钟,摄像机只拍到地面。另一个监控角度似乎显示,男子在遭到击打时试图用手臂环抱住警员。冲突期间,警员说:“别抓我的装备。”仅凭这道命令和含糊不清的手臂动作,无法确定男子试图抢枪。这段叙述依据媒体对录像的公开描述,而非独立逐帧审查。1

我觉得他抓了我的枪。我不是百分之百确定……所以我就开始出拳。

警员对医护人员说 1

警员的解释不能抹去这种不确定性。他还告诉医护人员,男子推他的脸,试图抓他的头发,而且他认为男子此前试图劫车。这些是警员的描述和看法;现有报道并未证实有人试图抢枪或劫车。调查人员必须评估警员感知到的威胁,并结合每个阶段的动作和情形作出判断。1

另一名警员重新装好摄像机后,可以看到几名警员正在控制这名男子。打人的警员指关节沾着血,还问道:“你能把我的袖子卷回来吗……这样我至少看起来酷一点。”后来,在前往医院接受治疗前,他说:“嗯,这事够写进档案了。”男子仍躺在地上,大喊:“对不起。”这些话记录了事后的情形,但不能代替对使用武力本身的评估。1

警方称,最终有四名警员控制住男子并给他戴上手铐;由于他被控制后仍不断尖叫和反抗,警方呼叫了消防人员。发言人科尔比·克罗斯利最初称两人受伤都不严重,二人都前往医院接受评估。有关伤情的说法来自警方,并非已公开的医疗检查结果。1 11

问责仍须查明什么

男子最近一次报道的羁押状态,已不再是住院后预计将被登记羁押。KOMO周四报道,警方证实他因非重罪的管制药品持有、扰乱治安、妨碍公务和企图袭击而被登记羁押,随后交保获释。这些是登记羁押时所列的指控,不是定罪;现有报道并未证实检方已提交起诉文件,也未说明法院的处理结果。11

最初预计登记羁押的罪名还包括拒捕和特定的三级企图袭击。后来的确认没有提到拒捕,也未说明袭击罪的级别。报道中的罪名清单为何发生变化,仍无解释。这并不能证明检方已对任何特定罪名提起诉讼或后来撤销指控。1 11

据《西雅图时报》报道,奥本市规定警员使用武力必须“客观合理”,其他警员也有义务制止不合理的武力。因此,调查不能只看是否发生过冲突,还必须审查冲突变化过程中存在何种威胁、使用武力是否仍有必要、是否有机会缓和局势,以及其他警员能否并且是否应当介入。1

曾从事执法工作35年的警务实践顾问杰里·罗德里格斯告诉KIRO 7,刑事调查和行政调查所要回答的问题不同。刑事调查审查行为是否有法律依据;行政调查还会评估事发前、事发期间和事发后即刻是否遵守政策、程序和培训要求。奥本警方没有回应KIRO 7关于由谁负责行政审查、是否也在进行刑事调查的问题。5

已知

  • 警员于10月28日被安排行政休假,警方称调查仍在进行。 11

未知

  • 现有报道并未确定审查人员的身份、是否存在刑事调查、涉事警员的身份,以及行政休假期间的薪酬状况。

后续

  • 请关注调查人员身份的公布、对使用武力过程的调查结论,以及澄清男子被登记羁押时所列指控的法院记录。警方尚未公布调查完成期限。

市民代表的声音也存在疑问。奥本市警务咨询委员会成员、牧师拉肖恩德·兰伯特告诉KIRO Newsradio,委员会自2025年12月以来就没有开过会。“这就是我们需要警务咨询委员会的原因,”他说。他表示,如果自己辞职能让会议恢复,他愿意辞职。MyNorthwest报道,警方和市长南希·巴克斯尚未回应其有关委员会暂停活动的问题。暂停活动的原因仍未查明。14

兰伯特说,他仍信任警察局长马克·凯利耶和其他领导人,同时希望通过政策和公众对话来维系信任。他的担忧涉及双方:不应不公平地妖魔化警员,也不应让危险的警员逃避问责。金县前警长约翰·厄克特也称这段录像令人震惊,同时呼吁在作出判断前进行彻底调查。14

这并不是说应当对那些拳头视而不见,而是说调查必须具体到足以解释这些拳头。新视频扩大了记录范围;接下来有意义的信息披露,不能只是重复称男子曾反抗,而必须说明哪些武力在何时、为何正当。

播出原貌 20 行
  1. An officer punches a man at least twenty times while holding him down in the road. Auburn police have released more recordings, and the officer is on leave during an internal investigation. The man has been booked and released on bond. Investigators still have to determine whether each use of force was justified.
  2. Police responded around three fifteen Wednesday afternoon to Auburn Way North at 37th Street Northeast. Dispatchers had received calls about a man running into traffic and trying to enter passing vehicles. The encounter happened October twenty-eighth.
  3. A nearby car dealership worker, Todd A. Fee Senior, encountered the man while accompanying a customer on a test drive. He said the man moved in front of their car, then grabbed other vehicles' door handles as drivers slowed. Fee also questioned the punches and said officers had opportunities to de-escalate.
  4. The officer delivers at least twenty punches in the roughly minute-long bystander recording. The count is approximate. He straddles the shirtless man, holds him down with one hand and punches with the other, then switches fists.
  5. The man raises his hands to shield himself. The officer restrains a wrist while continuing to strike, with traffic passing only feet away. That bystander recording misses the beginning and aftermath. No other officers appear in that clip, but the later recordings show several officers at the scene.
  6. The department placed the officer on administrative leave Wednesday, October twenty-eighth, pending a full investigation. Thursday brought the additional recordings and confirmation of the man's booking and release on bond. The leave puts the officer's employment status under review while investigators examine his conduct.
  7. Police released available body-camera, dash-camera and traffic-camera recordings. Their account says the man refused commands and struggled when the officer tried to handcuff him after using a Taser. Police say four officers eventually restrained him, and fire personnel were called because he continued screaming and resisting after being handcuffed.
  8. The released body-camera recording runs eighteen minutes. The officer approaches the man in the roadway and orders him down, warning he'll use a Taser. He fires it, and the man screams and falls. The officer turns him over to attempt handcuffing.
  9. The man tries to turn back around. It's unclear whether he attempts to hit the officer at that point. The officer then begins punching him in the face. The camera captures six closed-fist punches before it falls to the ground.
  10. For about three minutes, the body camera records pavement. A different surveillance angle appears to show the man trying to wrap an arm around the officer while being punched. During the encounter, the officer says, “Stop grabbing my gear.”
  11. The officer later tells a medic the man was pushing on his face and trying to grab his hair. He also says he believed the man had been attempting a carjacking. That's the officer's explanation of what he thought was happening. His account of a possible gun grab includes an explicit uncertainty.
  12. The officer tells the medic, “I think he grabbed my gun. I’m not 100% sure … so I started just delivering strikes.” The recordings leave the possible gun grab unresolved. Investigators must assess that explanation alongside the movements and threats at each stage.
  13. When another officer reattaches the camera, several officers are restraining the man. The officer who punched him has bloodied knuckles. He asks, “Can you roll my sleeves back … so I at least look cool.” Later, he says, “Well, this’ll be one for the books,” before leaving for hospital treatment. The man remains on the ground yelling, “I’m sorry.”
  14. Police confirmed the man was booked for non-felony controlled-substance possession, disorderly conduct, obstruction and attempted assault, then released on bond. These are booking allegations. They haven't resulted in a conviction in this case.
  15. The initial anticipated booking list also included resisting arrest and specified third-degree attempted assault. The later confirmation omitted resisting arrest and didn't specify an assault degree. Police haven't explained that difference. Spokesperson Kolby Crossley said the man is thirty-three and initially described both men's injuries as minor. Both went to hospitals for evaluation.
  16. Police-practices consultant Jerry Rodriguez spent thirty-five years in law enforcement. He says a criminal inquiry examines whether force was legally justified. An administrative inquiry also examines the officer's compliance with policy, procedures and training before, during and immediately after the encounter.
  17. Auburn's rules require force to be “objectively reasonable.” Officers also have a duty to intervene against unreasonable force. Investigators must examine whether each use of force remained necessary, what chances existed to de-escalate, and whether others could and should have intervened. Former King County Sheriff John Urquhart called the footage jarring while urging a thorough investigation before judgment.
  18. Pastor LaShund Lambert says Auburn's Police Advisory Committee hasn't met since December twenty twenty-five. A committee member himself, he wants an active civilian voice. He said he offered to resign if that would allow meetings to continue.
  19. Lambert says he retains faith in Chief Mark Caillier and other leaders, but wants policy and public dialogue that sustain trust. He warned against unfairly demonizing an officer or allowing a dangerous officer to escape accountability. Police and Mayor Nancy Backus haven't answered questions about the committee's hiatus.
  20. The new recordings provide context before the punches and after the restraint. Whether every strike was justified remains unresolved. Police haven't said who's conducting the internal review or whether a criminal investigation is also underway. The department promises further updates as information becomes appropriate to release, but has announced no completion deadline.
