In Seattle, Washington, police have fired an officer who arrested a 69-year-old man last year for carrying a golf club in the residential neighborhood of Capitol Hill. White police officer Cynthia Whitlatch arrested African American William Wingate on July 9, 2014, after the officer accused Wingate of swinging his golf club at her car. Dash cam footage shows Wingate did not swing the golf club at the car. Wingate told the officer he used the club as a cane. In her disciplinary report, the Seattle Police Department accused Officer Whitlatch of biased policing.
