a majority of crime is committed by indians, blacks, and mentally ill freaks. It makes sense that they come in police contact more often.

sorry if I can't muster much grief over the loss of a drunk, old, deaf, homeless indian.

you people would freak if these criminal populations were left free to do as they want.

I have a blue light on for those cops that do what they need to do to keep our city safe.

Why on earth would a Seattle cop shoot a guy, knowing what kind of shit he'd be bringing down upon himself, who WASN'T acting in a clearly threatening manner?

You really believe that this cop just decided to pound a few bullets into a dude who was walking away from him?

Come on.

The commission had serious concerns about Steward Baker and the tunnel incident...until it turned out she had a history of committing violent muggings.

yes, chronically drunk bums, with long rap sheets should be allowed to openly carry knives downtown! It’s their native right!

I mean, this native took every opportunity to flash tourists his junk (30 arrests for led conduct and harassment), what better way to show off Seattle's assets than a traditional greeting! I mean, what harm have drunks with open knives ever caused in Seattle? Hmmmmm, think dead woman on Capitol Hill.

Fire the cop and ban penknives downtown. Win win.

Sounds to me like Officer Ian Birk is a Killer hiding behind a Badge.
