King County Sherrif’s Deputies called in the SPD SWAT team to assist with an eviction earlier today after a man refused to leave his apartment on 11th and Denny.
Police were told the man had a gun in his apartment and called in brought in SWAT as a precautionary measure. Officers blocked off the intersection at 11th and Denny and north side of Cal Anderson Park.
After SWAT arrived, police say the man came out peacefully and no crime was committed. Officers recovered a shotgun and ammunition at the scene.
just more proof that Seattle Police is COM-YOO-NAAAAAYST
A few more details and a crappy picture here — man was taken to Harborview for involuntary commitment.
Excuse me, but what exactly is “communist” about the police protecting the city’s residents from an armed and presumably angry man? Just curious: what would be your reaction if the tenant had used his shotgun and harmed innocent people?
