She's lying.
Also, that's straight-up assault.

Before the rule of law, before modern police science, in a land without law and law officers, an altercation like this would have ended with no business cards for anybody.

That's $22 million a year well spent, Seattle

Sorry.

@3 wtf are you talking about? The woman in the elevator is obviously lying. We see the footage in the first few panels! The man doesn't say anything! And look at her face! The microemotions of a liar are all there.

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who's never been given an SPD business card.

@7, lol.

It's...it's, as if rape culture is a made up thing.

@1 lets assume she is 100% truthful. Who thinks it ok to throw coffee at someone that looks at you and says something "creepy"? If that were the case the homeless in Westlake would smell of French Vanilla.

@22: I don't think the cards cost that much!

@10, Nobody. Which is why they (I guess, he) should have been arrested or something.

@11, :-).

@11

See @23.

waiting to see what Number 23 says... (wink :-))

(Delicious, BTW)

I understand that not every injustice is going to be righted, that not every altercation is going to result in an arrest, and that the comic may not represent every single detail (for example, the coffee-soaked guy may have declined to press charges or something), but doesn't this comic seem to say that it's now OK to throw coffee on people?
I mean, the one guy acted like a dick without provocation, the other guy matched that, and then the first guy escalated the situation _again_ by throwing coffee.
Shouldn't that asshole get some sort of punishment for that?
Most of the time the 'Police Reports Illustrated' are funny, but this one is kinda just wrong.

Unless one is riding the freight elevator at the Columbia center or the scenic elevator at the Space Needle, there's really not enough time to work up a proper leer, or make many pervy remarks - especially if one is engaging in a conversation with a pompous bore.

I think she was fibbing.

So throwing hot liquids at people's faces isn't assault in Seattle? What would be assault then, sulfuric acid?

I'm just here to move us towards @23.

Well, @23 has to say something about SPD business cards, right?
