OPA completed the investigation in January and issued sustained findings against Patterson but not the other officer.

The chief still hasn't issued discipline. Patterson has been on leave since last year. He may be burning off his leave before retiring.

You can see that Patterson already has his baton in his hand. He's effectively committed at this point because he can't use both hands to put the man's arm behind his back.

Patterson has been named in lawsuits costing the city over a million.

In 2021 Patterson bragged about beating someone so hard he broke his nightstick. In 2020 he was seen punching a George Floyd protester who was already on the ground for no reason.

In 2012, Patterson boasted that he hit someone so hard that he broke his nightstick, an apparent reference to a time when SPD violently busted up a backyard party in Columbia City.

During that incident, Patterson beat a handcuffed man, according to the suit. Called in on a non-criminal noise complaint, multiple SPD officers bum-rushed the backyard after the tenant refused to let them in.
