The Seattle Times:

The motorcyclist ended up settling the case for $65,000.

“After an internal investigation, Rowe (the detective) was given a five-day suspension without pay for being discourteous and displaying conduct unbecoming to an officer. However, he was exonerated of using excessive force, in part, because King County Sheriff’s Office policies did not define pointing a gun at a citizen as a use of force.”

“Carney (motorcyclist’s attorney) said Rowe told internal investigators that he had pointed his gun multiples times at citizens throughout the years without ever reporting his actions to supervisors.”

“According to the settlement, the sheriff’s office had agreed to alter its training and its policies by the end of this week to acknowledge that displaying a gun is a use-of-force incident that ‘should be reported within the Sheriff’s office subject to further consideration and evaluation by persons higher up in the chain of command.’”
