Joaquin Uribe stands for a portrait on Tuesday, June 30, 2020, in the University District neighborhood of Seattle. Uribe, a volunteer medic who had recently graduated from a nursing program, was jailed after an officer accused him of assault. Uribe refutes those allegations and says it was the officer who escalated their interaction, which left Uribe with multiple injuries.
