“The two firefighters were off-duty and accompanied by a woman when they became involved in a tussle at the Seattle Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Occidental Park. According to Seattle police, the woman began yelling at the homeless man, who was sleeping on the memorial, and then kicked him. One of the firefighters hit the homeless man with a stick and the other firefighter joined in, police said. Police said it appeared that the firefighters and the woman were intoxicated. Ian Goodhew, deputy chief of staff for King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, said lack of cooperation from the alleged victim also played into the decision not to file felony charges against the firefighters.”
