what to fix Seattle police, make it a rule that they have to live within the city limits. Subsidized housing if they can't afford it. Put them in the neighborhood they are tasked to patrol so they feel ownership of the duty

because anyone that's had an experience with Seattle police knows they fucking hate you because they think everyone is the worst case scenario and they don't understand the neighborhoods

They get antsy if they haven't had any university students to run over for a while. Come on, there's gotta be a new sophomore they can hit at 72 miles per hour, isn't there?

Except I drive to work and the same cop car waiting next to the "20mph when kids are present, when lights are flashing, I'd it's Wednesday and there's a full moon, on st Patrick's day if it falls on a Wednesday and its the second Wednesday of the month of June right after 12:37pm while you're holding an eagle that's eating a serpent in the middle of a lake in the state of Georgia."

Seeing the asshole there stopping a car almost every day, makes me Angry.

I find this hard to believe, because surely they've rushed past the point where it kinda horseshoes around and accidentally starts stabilizing, right?

The problem with collapse is that it doesn't get better until you make it better. Down is easy. Up is hard.

They still find time to interfere in politics.
