This is definitely a step up from shooting them.

This is why Seattle is still a cool city.

Excellent. I'm sure the SPD appreciate the extra PR here too. Good job guys.

Oh god, Cienna, there's a world of difference between "wary" and "weary."

@1 Hah! Nice.

Oh TVDinner you made me laugh.

Good job, cops.

And kicked out at 4:45am? Damn! I lved in a shelter for a while, and we didn't get woken until 7am. What's the deal with that?

One of the many reasons why we pay taxes. Keep up the good work.

OK on the note of the guy shooting them dude shut your cock holster unless you know what can happen in 1.7 seconds at the distance the suspect was at. it only takes about 1.7 seconds to reach someone from approx. 20 feet add about .3 seconds to open the knife and you now have 2 seconds to either shoot or get stabbed. So please educate yourself and respect the police. They have to not only watch our backs but they have to watch their own because no one is trusted now. 1 more thing please everyone stop this damned which hunt of the police you only hurt our communities by attacking the police it makes them not want to help us when they are being attacked on the news and so forth.

"... SPD officers drive the cold-weather wagon around the downtown core to locations they know people camp at, contacts the people they find, and asks if they would like a ride to a shelter." Maybe someone needs a referesher on subject-verb agreement? Come on!

Wow, where did all the dickish people come from?

Great. This is the way it should be.

@13: Yeah, serious! With edits and re-edits of longer sentences, that kind of stuff gets lost in the shuffle. It's not, like, appalling or anything.
