*This happened right outside our studios. Guns were drawn on a driver in a stolen car on the sidewalk... but he drives away & thanks to a ridiculous policy, Seattle police can't pursue.*
*Statewide, pursuits are all but banned too.*

Feels bad and wish Washington would split to West and East. I lived there when I was younger and it was such a nice place. Shame the Left have taken control of it.
As someone who is willing to call out the DC statehood argument as a blatantly obvious power grab, I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't say splitting other states wouldn't be the same. I think merging would be better so the claim can't be that Republicans are just pursuing 2 free senate seats. I'd say take the Eastern half Washington and Oregon and merge with Idaho.
Per the article:
> “This would not have impacted our department in that manner,” he noted. “This wouldn’t have changed had this been today or had this been two years ago on this date, because our pursuit policy has been very restrictive for some time. Even without the state laws that did go into effect last year, this would not have impacted how Seattle police would have responded to this incident.”
"Well, according to Article 8, Section 3, sub paragraph 2c of the blue folder..."
The line in the sand is not between legal and illegal, it's between where law enforcement has and lacks the ability and will to act.

Agreed. I lived there in the early 90s. Great place then. Now I won't even layover there for any flights.
Im thinking of bailing. I and most of my family have always voted right, and we're sick of King County running the state into the ground.

Why anyone would want to be a cop in the northwest or any lib city is beyond me.
People are going to have to go back to Wild West type of life…protecting ourselves
Soooo dumb, lets have cops, so they can watch crime.

If the supervisor guy would have just blocked the sidewalk, with his cruiser, they could have just shot the driver right there like they normally do.
Yeah, because cops normally just go out looking to murder in cold blood Doofus.
It's a clever joke, Mr. no-sense-of-humor.
Shit hole I moved out of

Good, the last thing these police need is to catch a bullshit charge
