From [HERE] A civil-rights lawsuit stemming from a Seattle police officer’s threat to beat the “Mexican piss” out of a Latino man during a robbery investigation in 2010 has been settled for $150,000, the man’s attorney announced at a news conference this morning.

The suit, brought by Martin Monetti Jr., the target of the comment, alleged that Officer Shandy Cobane also kicked him in the head and hand during the incident caught on video. The lawsuit sought unspecified general and punitive damages for alleged civil-rights violations, unreasonable use of force, assault and battery, outrageous conduct, emotional harm and intentional discrimination. Cobane sparked a public outcry when video emerged of the April 17, 2010,  incident in which he was heard telling Monetti he was going to “beat the [expletive] Mexican piss out of you, homey. You feel me?”
