Patrons had called police and described the suspects as Hispanic.[/p] [p] The video -- shot by a freelance videographer and aired Thursday by KIRO -- shows a group of officers surrounding two men lying on the ground.[/p] [p] At one point, an officer approaches one of the men and can be heard saying: "You got me? I'm going to beat the (expletive) Mexican (expletive) out of you homey. You feel me?"[/p] [p] Soon after, officers kick the man in the head, hand and leg.[/p] [p] It turned out the man was not the robbery suspect, and the officers let him go.[/p] [p] A tearful Detective Shandy Cobane told reporters the words he used "were offensive and unprofessional."[/p] [p] "A day has not passed that I wished I could rewind the events of that night and take back those hateful words," he added.[/p] [p] Cobane apologized to the Latino community, saying, "I know that my words cut deep and were very hurtful."[/p] [p] "Please know that I am truly, truly sorry," the officer said.[/p] [p] He also apologized to Interim Police Chief John Diaz and his fellow officers.[/p] [p] Diaz said it was Cobane's decision to offer a public apology. The chief adds an internal investigation will continue.[/p] [p] "I watched the video and found it disturbing," Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said earlier in a statement, adding he has spoken with Diaz.[/p] [p] Cobane and a female officer seen in the video are both on administrative leave.[/p] [p] In a statement, police said the internal investigation of possible officer misconduct was being handled by the Office of Professional Accountability.[/p] [p] The video shows the unidentified man gingerly getting up after being on the ground. The man is approached by the videographer and asked why he was kicked.[/p] [p] "I don't know. They knocked me down and kicked me in the head," the man responds.[/p] Copyright C 2010 Deseret News Publishing Co. Provided by ProQuest Information and Learning Company.
