[UPDATE: According to a follow-up press statement, issued on September 24, the “officer has been placed on administrative leave,” said Seattle police.] The grand jury’s decision sparked protests in Louisville and several other U.S. cities, including Portland, Chicago and Seattle. Headline changed September 24 from “riding over” a protestor’s head to “running over.” This more accurately describes the incident described in the article. A further update was added when Seattle police put the bike officer on administrative leave.
