Investigators are looking at the actions of the police in the Seattle suburbs after a teenager from the Bellevue area of the city was violently arrested.
The 15-year-old was arrested on Saturday after police officers responded to a complaint of trespassing from a shopping center at Bellevue Square mall.

The police force's training division will also be conducting a use-of-force review, which is standard practice when a Taser is used.
'When I viewed the video, certainly you see what you see,' Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett told KIRO. 'Then I watched it like 15 different times and I slow-motioned it numerous times. Each time I watch it, I pick up something new and I hear something different.
'I would ask people to use a little bit of caution to rush to judgment based on one minute and 47 seconds of lengthier police contact.'
The boy was released shortly after his arrest King County prosecutors are currently considering whether to charge the boy in the Saturday incident or the alleged car theft that preceded it, spokesman Dan Donohoe said Wednesday. A decision is not expected this week.
