14,000 complaints lodged against Seattle Police amid George Floyd protests

The Seattle Office of Police Accountability received around 14,000 complaints about police officers' response during the George Floyd protests last weekend, spokesperson Anne Bettesworth said on Tuesday.

The causes for the complaints include using pepper spray on peaceful protesters, beating demonstrators with no resistance, deliberately shutting off law enforcement video recorders, and covering up officer badge numbers.

Bettesworth vowed to regulate the officers' conduct and be more transparent while enforcing the law.
