The audio was uncovered by The Stranger as part of an ongoing dispute between the officer and his elderly Chinese-American neighbor.
SEATTLE — A Seattle police officer has been placed on leave, after audio surfaced Friday of racist remarks directed at his Chinese-American neighbor., as part of an ongoing dispute involving SPD Officer Burton Hill, his wife, and his elderly Chinese-American neighbor, Zhen Jin, all of whom live in the same Kenmore condominium complex.
In it, Hill can be heard hurling racial epithets at Jin as well as a series of other obscenities. Hill later tells Jin that she’s “going to jail,” after claiming she stole money from her Palestinian-American uncle, who she reportedly lives with. Hill can also be heard mocking her uncle’s accent. According to The Stranger’s reporting, that was part of a larger argument where Hill accused Jin of trying to harm his dog by leaving chicken bones in the condo’s shared courtyard.saying that he had “listened to an audio recording that includes comments by an off-duty Seattle police officer,” and that he has “taken immediate steps to place the officer on administrative leave.
SPD staff will also now review Hill’s arrest and investigation history. Over Hill’s seven year career with the department, he has been investigated by the OPA six times. A handful of the allegations levied against him in the past have been related to complaints over alleged biased policing. The OPA did not sustain any of those complaints.
