In a bizarre twist of events that would make even the most seasoned law enforcement officer cringe, two Seattle police officers are currently under investigation for what can only be described as a perplexing case of mistaken identity—assuming a bus stop was the appropriate venue for impromptu drumline tryouts. Unfortunately, instead of snare drums or cymbals, their instruments of choice were batons and the recipient of their 'percussion session' was an unsuspecting man who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The incident, which occurred last Friday around 1:30 p.m., was captured on video by an astute bystander named Deeanthony Marcell. Marcell, who was on a bus at the time, decided to record what he believed to be an injustice unfolding before his eyes. The footage, later posted online and first reported by NBC affiliate King 5-TV, paints a stark picture: two officers repeatedly hitting a man with their batons, with one officer going the extra mile (or should we say, baton length) to grab the man's hair and use a knee to pin him down.

Seattle’s Office of Police Accountability (OPA) quickly launched an investigation into the event that has already garnered nearly 15,000 views as of Thursday afternoon. Seattle Police Department Interim Chief Sue Rahr confirmed the investigation and noted that she had reviewed the video herself. "This is serious business," said Rahr, likely as she clutched her morning coffee a little tighter.

In the midst of this chaos, the officers demonstrated their commitment to hygiene by donning latex gloves during the incident. After all, nothing says "clean hands, dirty deeds" quite like latex-clad knuckles and a street-side beatdown.

The officers in question, who thus far remain unnamed, could not be reached for comment. Neither did the Seattle Police Department nor the police union respond to requests for comment, seemingly opting for the ostrich approach—head in the sand and hope the storm blows over.

While it's unclear if the officers involved have been placed on administrative leave or if the man subjected to the impromptu percussion session was arrested or charged with a crime, Marcell remains certain of one thing: he was witnessing an injustice. "I felt I had to do something," he said in an interview, clearly not one to stand idly by when reality surpasses the wildest episodes of 'Cops Gone Wild'.

It's worth noting that this isn't the first time Seattle’s law enforcement methods have come under scrutiny, but this incident takes the notion of 'public service' to a new, discordant level. For now, we await further details from the OPA and perhaps—if the stars align—a statement from the officials ultimately responsible for this enigmatic conduct.

In summary, it’s one thing to mistake your keytar for a guitar, but mistaking a bus stop for a drumline tryout? Rookie mistake.
