In fact, a few blocks from where Jaahnavi Kandula died, I just saw a lifted truck accelerate through a red and nearly mash four pedestrians. But it would've been accidental

the cop blipped his lights to blow through the red. I know because I see them do it every time I’m in that neighborhood

The officer, who has been with the department since November 2019, will not work his next shift and instead will take a “release day,” Carson said. Release days are part of the department's officer wellness program after “traumatic or upsetting” events.

they also hit the lights and sirens and tear rear end outta the Capitol Hill precinct, blast through the intersections til they’re past the QFC (about four blocks) and then turn the lights and noise off and continue as normal. I assume this is because they absolutely despise everybody who lives in there and want them to all die painfully

The cops here keep begging the city for these, but the commission denied them with "you literally just ran over a guy"

Cops should have to fill out 10 pages of paperwork, handwritten, in triplicate, each time they flash their lights. Or touch their gun. Or get in a car. Or wake up in the morning. Discourage bad behavior before it leads to manslaughter.

I paint things
My art studio was a block from where she was hit and even back in the 2000s that area was miserable with poo poo cops blowing lights - stop signs back then since the whole area got transformed over a period of about 5 years by amazon moving in. I also worked in the area for about 3 years - like 2014-2017 regularly saw cops doing that poo poo still.

I hate cars and I hate the SPD.


edit: Its also close walking distance to where the SPD murdered a native man by shooting him in the back. Rest in Peace John T Williams.

Man Arrested After Firing Shots, Chasing Stolen Truck in South Seattle
Jan 20, 2023 at 7:35 PM

Police arrested a man after he fired several shots from his car while chasing his stolen truck around South Seattle on Friday afternoon.

At about 4:45 p.m., a man spotted his stolen Chevrolet truck in the Mt. Baker neighborhood while he was out driving in his Toyota Camry. He followed his stolen truck until it stopped, and then confronted the driver. When the driver sped away, the man fired two shots, striking two nearby residences.

He then chased after his truck, driving erratically through the Columbia City neighborhood until he lost sight of it.
The man neglected to call 911 at any point during this incident.

Based on reports from witnesses, officers found and stopped the man in his Toyota in the 9300 block of Rainier Avenue South. Police detained the two occupants and the driver gave officers permission to remove his handgun from the car.

Police verified the Chevrolet truck was indeed registered to the Toyota driver and it was reported stolen, but the truck was gone when officers arrived in the area.

Officers booked the 27-year-old man into King County Jail for drive-by shooting and submitted his firearm as evidence. His passenger was released from the scene.

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Do these people not have insurance on their vehicles? Like I know it's not legally required in the states for freedom reasons or whatever dumb excuse, but given that these thefts tend to be financed mega-trucks one has to assume that their financier would require theft coverage anyway.

They probably decline the gap coverage, and those trucks lose a shitload of value the moment they leave the lot (much more than cars, because if all the extra fees the dealers charge).

It's incwedibwe easy to suck my own dick.

My favorite Insurance Understander bit is when the carbrained work themselves into a frenzy over cyclists not being legally required to carry insurance. It’s really funny.

Anyway we’re a nation of car- and gun-addled morons, so it’s no wonder that when someone takes the former people decide to resolve the situation with the latter.

Yeah that might take up to nine months to pay off if you bought them all at once. Definitely a tricky situation, you might opt to only buy one a year to keep things manageable, or look on the pre-owned market.
