Description
A Seattle police officer was fired after an investigation found he used racial slurs and sexist comments toward his neighbor in 2022.
An audio recording of the confrontation captured Seattle officer Burton Hill hurling offensive comments at his neighbor, an Asian woman, over a dispute about their dogs while he was off duty.
Things escalated when the neighbor asked Hill and his wife to keep their dog on a leash in certain areas of their condo building in Kenmore. There has been a series of prior arguments between the neighbor and Hill and his wife about the dogs.
The Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC) then filed a bias complaint with the Office of Police Accountability (OPA) on behalf of the neighbor.
