What? Isn’t that incredibly offensive? Am I missing something?
Stunning. They really don’t get it at all.
When was it tweeted, cuz I can’t find it…are we being punked?
You should throw them all out like it’s a Mexican boarder town…
Maybe the boys returning from Iraq out in Tacoma and Bremerton would like some of those jobs. Although A bunch of guys on steroids with PTSD could be bad too…
Maybe you should choose Anarchy…
I feel you homie….
So…is unpaid intern a code word for something?
@3: Yes, we are being punked.
Question is, is the intern who’s doing the punking, or is he a (clueless intern-y) victim too.
What’s the point of these fake SPD tweets? I’m not for or by the SPD, but these are just dumb, and there are already lots of real life examples of things that make the SPD look bad.
Yeah, with everything that’s going on with the SPD right now, this fake stuff is in really, really poor form.
On April 1st that might have been funny. But when the ACTUAL reporters on your paper are trying to cover real news about the future of policing in this town, this kind of junior-high style crap just lowers the bar for everyone else on staff.
Big editorial FAIL here.
Maybe they go pee at a Mexican restaurant near Lake Union every day?
Wait, these are fake?
@8 FTW
Please stop posting these, they’re just stupid.
SPD reaps what it sows.
NOT FUNNY
Shit. I think they are funny as fuck.
I love a good parody, and this is pretty goddamn good.
Hey all, the @SeattlePD twitter account has not been hacked. These posts belong to SLOG and are being presented as satire.
Sgt. Sean Whitcomb, SPD Public Affairs
Lot of SLOG readers still think Almost Live was “edgy” satire , even the ones who were five years old, or especially them.
If this is satire, there needs to be some disclosure. What if readers decided to attribute these to the police department? That’s deeply unfair to them.
Ha ha. I’m so glad I live on the Eastside. Not because I fear the SPD, but because I don’t want to be near any of you idiots who thought this was in “poor form” or didn’t know it was fake!
