Where the fuck are the good cops we keep hearing about? Seattle Police have a goddam gravestone of someone they killed in their breakroom. No good cop saw it and put it in the trash? This isn’t the heat of the moment, adrenaline pumping, someone said they saw a weapon; This is calmly mocking a dead kid. Day after day after day after fucking day.

And the Trump flag. Man was being sued for sexually assault at the time of the video. Probably why they stopped investing adult rape. These pieces of shit were waiving the adult rapist flag. In a city that despises him that they swore to protect and serve.

Christ on the Cross. No defund activist, nobody chanting all cops are bastards, no investigation, no lawsuit could make SPD look as bad as they did all by themselves. And every fucking day for who knows how long the good cops left it all up.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets this evening for some politics and conversation over a pint. We’d love to have you stop by.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. You’ll find us on the back patio.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

The city of Seattle has had years to figure out ways to deal with homelessness in SoDo ahead of the All Star Game. Really could have got ahead of things, and figured out how to get people housed. Instead, last minute sweeps. Predictable, but not necessary.

We’ll have chances in the future to do this better, but I fear that we won’t. And in any case, this was squandered.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
