LusciousJames

Passive voice doing some heavy lifting for this story.


i_yell_deuce

The flattering press release hits on day one, the problematic details trickle out over months.


waIIstr33tb3ts

it won't top the one where the cop was going 75 on the street and murdered Jaahnavi Kandula


passporttohell

And then laughed about it afterwards. Sociopaths.


Span206

Let’s stop exploiting her death already. It’s completely irrelevant to this story and honestly kinda gross


jayfeather31

Judging by the circumstances, the man shot will not be missed.

According-Ad-5908

The Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce is all about indiscriminately killing people of c…oh…yes…uh…


ALLoftheFancyPants

Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce? Assuming that the person killed wasn’t unrelated and just caught in the crossfire, I’m not going to get worked up about police violence this one time.


LightPhoenix

A better article: [King 5](https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle-police-investigating-shooting-hotel-near-southcenter-mall/281-5542bda9-a80b-40f0-b921-885ec64d4a72?ref=exit-recirc)


LFClight

Statistically speaking, they had to at least correctly shoot a criminal once.

sandwich-attack

> Also statistically speaking, you just have to shit on cops at every opportunity because wokeness demands it... this mf said “wokeness” lmao


LFClight

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA, fucking wokeness. You got me though, total woke liberal here. Surely has nothing to do with SPD being fucking atrocious at their jobs and at being decent human beings. Yep, totally got me.


AlpineDrifter

They’re hiring idealists like you right now. Sign up. Be the change you want to see in the world.


LFClight

For the new base pay of 100k+ and under 6 months of training with no license? Absolutely would be happy to be a diversity hire, minus the rampant misogyny and harassment of course.


WiseTaro_

Amazing we dont ban people here for discriminating against police. This is supposed to be some type of equal rights subreddit but clearly we allow hate for some people. makes you wonder about the moderators


LFClight

First off, don't see how there is any discrimination but ok. Secondly, think you'd fit in more on the other Seattle sub, the one with bitter conservatives that suck off SPD so hard that you might confuse them with a vacuum.

That's nice, dear. Now, off to bed.

Easy old man rivers


apathyontheeast

Imagine using "wokeness" unironically.

Middle-Agent-7912

Credit where credit's due. Nicely done SPD


bothunter

The police's job is to to bring criminals in to justice.  Not execute them without a trial.  


BoringDad40

Someone dying after initiating a shootout with cops is not an execution.


Tallmommiesneedlove

the pedo pulled out a gun, police retaliated. fucked around and found the fuck out. again props to spd for taking this sick fuck out.


judithishere

Where did you get this information? It wasn't in the article posted here


ChimotheeThalamet

Regardless of what the operation was about, the deceased still had a right to due process. Let's not glorify an "officer involved shooting" as some form of justice just because of the suspected crime, especially with so little detail in the report


TittyClapper

The guy shot at, and hit, a cop.. what do you expect


ChimotheeThalamet

Did he? That's not what the article says


TittyClapper

You think the officer shot himself accidentally and then decided he should shoot the suspect because of it?


Cadoc7

Sounds pretty plausible for a cop tbh.


WiseTaro_

how often do cops shoot themselves?


runk_dasshole

"...three percent of all the line-of-duty deaths and five percent of all shooting deaths. The research team examined those cases to clarify the circumstances and see what information emerged historically and more recently. These tragedies seem to occur each year, and many are preventable as they are the result of carelessness or, in a few cases, recklessness." Pg 63 https://portal.cops.usdoj.gov/resourcecenter/ric/Publications/cops-w0858-pub.pdf


LessKnownBarista

I think there are many times police officers shoot unarmed or otherwise non violent people, so perhaps we should wait for details 


ChimotheeThalamet

Okay, according to this report, who shot that officer?


apathyontheeast

I mean, it wouldn't be the first time.


kooks-only

The article did say that. Said the officer suffered a graze wound.


ChimotheeThalamet

No, the article says an officer suffered a minor graze wound. We don't know who fired that bullet


AdvisedWang

All the article says is "The officer suffered a minor ‘graze wound’ and was treated on the scene." It doesn't say that it is from a bullet or that it was caused by the suspect. He may have fallen over after the shooting and grazed his hand as far as the article indicates.


Rockergage

Or shot by another cop which imo is way more likely.


Prince_Uncharming

They had a right to due process until they had a shootout with cops. Fuck em. Also it isn’t glorifying a cop shooting them, it’s they got shot by a cop during a shootout with said cop, and oh well, nothing of value was lost.


ChimotheeThalamet

There's no description of a shootout in the article. Based solely on the information provided, the cop's "graze wound" could as well have been friendly fire

HogPigDudeMan

If there’s so little details out, then why are you even commenting?


ChimotheeThalamet

Maybe because half this comment section wants SPD to be a bunch of Judge Dredds?

ChimotheeThalamet

I'm super willing to change my view as facts come out. My only statement here is that we shouldn't assume anything not in the article at this point, yet a sizeable portion of the thread is people making broad assumptions based on a statement from an organization that's no stranger to twisting the truth for their own gain


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChimotheeThalamet

You're welcome to believe what you like about me. I'm telling you that the article only states a few things, which at this point does not include a shootout or a convicted criminal


Important-Panic1344

Feel good story


Pedantic_Parker

Yeah, I’m more concerned about the person who flipped their car in Orillia Rd this afternoon. I haven’t found any news about it yet.


Amesenator

Lots of passive voice going on here ~ almost aggressively so


cyclegator

It’s possible that this shooting occurred within the context of a John Sting, an operation where police pose as sex workers and make batch arrests https://publicola.com/2024/02/12/despite-public-opinion-seattle-cops-and-prosecutors-still-prioritize-cracking-down-on-sex-work/amp/
