Don’t you love how SPD will release video immediately if it’s good PR? It’s nice they found time to help this guy between murdering pedestrians (and then laughing about it), sexually harassing their own cops, and mocking the teenagers they shoot and kill.
(Sources if anyone wants them:)

The story about the sexual harassment makes me mad. They seriously asked "Well are you SURE you're not just mad because you didn't get a promotion?"
It’s all infuriating! And we keep paying these goons more and more of our tax dollars - new hires are up to $150k I think - and they can’t even be bothered to show up when a crime is happening! Or follow laws themselves?! Make it make sense. They’ve been on a silent strike since 2020 but the mayor and city council keep throwing our money at them.
I'm also in Seattle and am severely unimpressed with everything about the SPD. In all the ways. This is one way it's clinched.
