I love this more than everything combined!
2
Please send Dominic over with leaflets about appropriate treatment of the public, especially those with cameras. Attach them to packs of doughnuts.
3
I wish they would be out looking for the assholes that robbed me at gunpoint two weeks ago a block away from their precinct on 12th. but, ya know...this is important too.

damn! doritos for pot smokers! and pugel pushing needle exchanges!

almost makes you forget that this week there were two SPD settlements for wrongful force, one for $1.75 million leaving a developmentally disabled kid totally incapacitated when 15 officers neglected his cries for help. does he get a bag of doritos, too?
5
Is this even a pro-pot festival anymore? They tried so hard to block this legalization and now cops are pretty much saying there's little to no possible chance that people smoking pot will lose any amount of freedom and, who do we have to thank for that? /bitterrant

1,000 bags should last about 3 minutes.
7
I would have found more humor in the police handing out doughnuts.
8
Don't trust them, When you open the bag and it pepper sprays you...
9
Yes, everyone who smokes is a "stoner". Check your straight privilege.

@2 and @4 yesterday KIRO had a blip report on the 2 SPD, DUI officers Gochnour and Moore. Marie Gochhour's hearing settlement was, as I heard it, 2 days in Jail and 1 year suspension? It was said so fast hopefully I heard it correct. The second SPD, DUI officer Sean Moore's hearing settlement is to be coming soon/next month.
11
@9, no..not everyone who smokes is a 'stoner' but anyone who actually goes to hempfest I would reckon fits the stereotype of 'stoner' pretty damn well.
12
Funny how Whitcomb always seems so reasonable. Exactly unlike everything else about the SPD.
13
what are they doing? FEED THE POOR
14
I kinda wish they'd use a heavier hand with public toking around Westlake Park bus stops...can't even wait for a bus without getting more than a whiff of the stuff, and there's cops standing around everywhere not even telling them to put it out. If y'all want me to respect your right to smoke your weed, please respect my right to NOT smoke your weed.
15
I remember last years Fest. Many attendees rode my bus. They tended to not be very well behaved. One even stole ky transfers. Many evaded fares claiming they "forgot" about the ride free area ending.

I will be driving the 27/33 this weekend and am not looking forward to it at all.
16
@12 Personally I thank God for the officers at SPD and so should you. Folks with camers phones and the ousting of McGinn will go a long way towards dealing with bad apples.
17
You just know those chips are totally sprayed with paraquat.
18
Well, the true test will be if the SPD can do this without shooting/permanently disabling/harrassing anybody. Fingers crossed!
19
yeah the smell, they should also arrest people for farting, and not wearing deodorant, smelly perfumes, etc... then there's the smell of diesel from busses...arrest them all. Something NEEDS TO BE DONE!

gmab...maybe hide in your basement for life.
20
@18 You mean like they do every day with chemically impaired douchebags?
21
Uhhhh, they need more Doritos peeps. There gonna be 250,000 people over the three days.... I see the SPD as coming out short in the Dorito propaganda deal...;-D
22
"the cops in Seattle are more progressive than the rest of city government"

You didn't just say that....let me introduce you to Dorli Rainey.
23
"the cops in Seattle are more progressive than the rest of city government"

The same police force that purchased drones without any elected official of any kind providing an okay. The same force that refused to send those drones back and then rather than actually sending the drones back as McGinn promised the city would, got the city council to pass an ordinance allowing for this "progressive force" to USE THE DRONES.

Did you REALLY just say the SPD is "progressive"???? Effing really?
24
Dude...do not eat the brown aci...oh, I mean...wrong festival man...don't eat the doritos...get a bag with the sticker on them, put them in a box for a decade...put them on ebay...1,000 bags of doritos for at least a quarter million stoners...they aren't even taking enough for staff and vendors.
25
um, did the cops ever care about public toking at hempfest? I moved to the midwest a few years ago, but when i was going in the mid naughties the cops seemed like they could care less as long as you weren't A. dealing in front of them, or B. causing a disturbance.
26
SEA <> Niverna. As a senior citizen and global traveler, yeah, happy to be SEA based.
27
Much nicer program than "stop & frisk." :)
28
I worry about DUI and blood levels of THC. Rather than blood levels of ANYTHING, the bottom line is IMPAIRMENT. Drivers suspected of impairment should be given coordination and reaction-time tests-- very easy to administer. If the driver fails them, does it REALLY matter that they've been using cannabis, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, or alcohol, or-- for that matter-- are naturally inept? No! Their IMPAIRMENT is what matters and should be the criterion by which their driving ability is measured, NOT blood levels of XXX.

Doritos contain GMO corn....Pass on that. But hey... got any Nativia hemp bars ?!!
30
Could be a big waste of Tax Payers money. Hippies like organic foods and Doritos contain GMO corn....Pass on that. But hey... got any Nativia hemp bars ?!!
31
Kind'a cool i think. Gettin' closer to my ideal idea of relationship 'tween the community and its public servants.

But what a missed opportunity! Doritos are poison, made by big fat pigs living far from here. Seattle's leadership is still constipated with last decades garbage. A local source of healthy treats would have been better. From the artisan community. Supporting local industry.

Hemp treats would have been ideal. People be increasingly curious about them, and HEMP is what the event is all about! If SPD wants to connect with the people, it ought get out of the box and onto the same pages as our people. In this case, promoting Hemp as local industry.

Hemp treats at Hemp Fest are a case of Stacking Function "bagging many birds with a single stone": - Civil servants engaging with public - Public education of new law, and public awareness of any health and welfare concerns - Supporting local businesses - Increasing awareness of local Hemp Industry (for purpose of revitalizing our regional economy with a new resource fresh on the market). ++

Ah ... brothers and sisters, there are people out there that look just like you or maybe ah ..., your brother ah ..., but they're not. And, when they hand you something, don't take it -- don't take it, okay?
33
@30 hippies are long dead and gone. I am sure they love organic food as long as their parents or someone else is paying for it. I am sure the cops will have no problem getting rid of all the Doritos.
35
Whitcomb is a fucking douce bag wimpy fucking sissy boy, who spent 2 years on the street, then ran to find a non-patrol job because his boney ass chest and wimpy wrist couldn't handle realnman's work... he and his love interest Spaggy Lee can Fuck right off!
36
Peace... brothers of the hemp. Smoke it peacefully like I did in the 70's. Live a little, laugh more, socialize, dance, listen to "the dark side of the moon". Toke it responsibly, get 'high with a little help from you friend'. "Don't worry be happy". Wish it were legal where I live in Florida.
37
One of the bags on ebay will benefit the Southern Oregon Four defense fund.

Operation Orange fingers "Doritos" will help end the drug war in Oregon, or at least help a few activists who lives and liberties are threatened by the war on drugs.

Please wait...
