The e-mails which have just been uncovered prove that King County Sheriff Captain Susan Rahr lied to the media and the public that "There was no evidence of misconduct on the part of Deputy Paul," said Rahr.
This report came out three months ago and the leader of the King Country Sheriff's Office, Sue Rahr is still lying about the incident, claiming that she had no information about Deputy Paul's alarming conduct but the emails reveal that other officers including his superiors in the academy warned that he was dangerously aggresive and not recommended.
After the County lost a $10 MIllion Dollar law suit because officer Paul paralyzed an innocent bystander during a needlessly agressive "take down" Sheriff Sue Rarh claims not to have known about the emails before the incident and allowed Deputy Paul to remain a cop, even after they lost the $10 Million Dollar law suit against the department and presumably her leadership.
Lying about the emails is a crime in of itself that should be punishable with incarceration and employment termination, instead yesterday she was given the job as the Chief of the Washington State Police Academy.
What a way to make things worse, there goes the last ounce of credibility cops in the Seattle Area had, it's the blind and dumb leading the bullies.
Christopher Harris Still Unable to Walk, Talk, or Eat on His Own as Civil Suit Starts Over Deputy Takedown (VIDEO)
UPDATE: King County just announced a settlement with the Harris family for $10 million.
More than 20 months after King County Sheriff's Deputy Matthew Paul mistook Christopher Harris for an assault suspect and slammed him into a cinema building wall in full view of a nearby security camera, Harris can still no longer walk, talk, or eat on his own.
Deputy Paul, meanwhile, remains a deputy, having long ago escaped charges stemming from the incident.

Sheriff Rahr picked to head the state's police academy
BURIEN, Wash. -- King County Sheriff Sue Rahr was named Thursday as the next executive director of the Washington state Criminal Justice Training Commission in Burien.
Rahr was among four candidates for the position, which opened last year after Joe Hawe, a former U.S. Marshal for Western Washington, resigned.
Rahr, a 32-year veteran, is more than halfway through her second term as sheriff, which expires in 2013. Last year, Rahr recruited Steve Strachan, former Kent police chief, to serve as a new chief deputy in her administration. Strachan, also a former state legislator in Minnesota, is expected to be selected as her successor on an interim basis and possibly run in the next election.
The Criminal Justice Training Commission oversees the state's police training center in Burien, where all police officers except state troopers undergo basic training. The commission also sets statewide training standards for peace officers and administers the decertification process for officers fired for serious misconduct. It is headquartered in Lacey and has 38 employees.
The director's maximum annual salary is $110,114.
Rahr was first appointed sheriff by Dave Reichert after he was elected to Congress. She then was elected to the position in 2005 and ran again unopposed in 2009. For the last year, rumors have swirled about her future plans and whether she would pursue any of a number of higher law enforcement jobs at the state and federal level. Rahr confirmed to Seattlepi.com in October that she had been approached about the academy position.
