Boycott Seattle

I am hardly awake and many are already expressing their displeasure with the Seattle Police Department's apparent white-wash of the murder of a visiting native woodcarver from Canada by a police officer.  Seems their internal affairs, nor the prosecutor's office can find a problem with shooting a someone multiple times whom was never even facing you and then calling it justifiable.

Yeah, even forensics pointed out that the cop was covering his butt by misrepresenting the facts in his report.  There were three witnesses whom contradicted the cop's testimony.  And yet, a threat to the life of cop now includes someone not facing him, while holding a closed knife.

Admittedly, the knife had been open - he was carving a piece of wood after-all!  But, he had closed it before being shot.  Just as the cop had ordered him to do.  He was even in the process of turning around - again just as the cop had ordered him to do.

Go figure.

Seattle, where cops can now MURDER you and it is justifiable - because, well they are cops and you are not,.

Seattle, where the vice squad can visit prostitutes for months - before arresting them.  Without any hint of blemish on the officers involved.

Seattle, where they can run pawn shops looking for thieves and even put in orders for items they would like to see stolen - and they have no liability, even when those items are used for personal use.

Seattle, where cops cause accidents, even killing you, but it is your fault because - well there is no one to contradict their tales even when their dispatch records show no reason for an officer to have had their lights or siren on at the time.  After all, a cop would never lie to cover his butt, now would he?

Seattle, where apparently you can be attacked by even plain clothes police and it is somehow your fault that they were drunk and unruly.  And you have NO right of self defense?  Yeah, you the victim get to go to jail while they figure out how to spin the testimonies of yourself and your friends so that the drunk cop is in the clear.

Seattle, where you can beat, stomp and kick a handcuffed subject on the ground - and it is their fault, unless a court decides otherwise, after months of trying to spin it in the media to their advantage.

Seattle, where you can legally punch out an unpleasant teenager, after you get then down - and everyone agrees it is the kid's fault.  Yeah, the only one with bruises was the girl, so whom as assaulting whom?

Seattle, where you can be manhandled to within an inch of your life, by cops wearing non reflective police uniforms - so that they are purposefully hard to identify.  And it is your fault for having run from two guys jumping you from an alley at night.  Of course, they will not be held accountable - nor the management whom choose this type of clothing.  After all, it is the victim's fault for believing his life was in jeopardy - and it still is.

Seattle, where if you attempt to arrest an officer for violation of the laws - you will be pursued by every cop in town.  Poor schmuck had to finally move to Idaho to get away the sudden harassment he was subjected to by Seattle, King Co and the WSP officers.  Sad, but true.

Seattle, where all animals are equal.  But, some are more equal than others apparently.....
