Why call? What happened to “If you see something, say something”? A person falling asleep in a drive through is out of the ordinary, yes? Person is impaired, possibly has a medical condition, possibly DUI. In any case, there is a potential risk to the public if he drives away.
Shoot the guy? Inexcusable. He posed no risk when fleeing. IMO, there was a greater public risk with shooting at the guy.
How about this as an example of what should have happened. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/entertainment/denzel-washington-helps-man/index.html
PL, Political Correctness IS a religion and we are in the middle of a modern day Inquisition. Today acolytes identify heretics and initiate punishment for their heresy. The Church gained a lot of converts. Easy to do when your options are convert or be burned at the stake.
Today, it is not enough to not be a racist. You must declare yourself as anti-racist and join the cult for assimilation. Sort of like The Borg meets The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Well, not exactly. It is a resolution “declaring the intent to create a transformative new model for cultivating safety in our city.”
Pretty high concept stuff. https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/12/minneapolis-city-council-passes-resolution-to-remove-and-replace-police-department/
Here is the resolution. https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/File/3806/Transforming%20Community%20Safety%20Resolution.pdf
For gawd’s sake, they actually quoted Angela Davis in the resolution!
We can read their thoughts…..
Sounds like “The Minority Report”. Police are not required, because Precogs can see into the future and stop crime, dispatching PreCrime units to apprehend “criminals” before they commit a crime. Raises a lot of questions about free will v determinism.
People are generally non violent until they are not. Problem is deterence. No law, no social order, there is no deterence.
What sort of hubris do officials have, thinking this uprising will have a better outcome than say, Iran or Cuba. Someone will always be in charge, and that person will impose his/her own social order.

Would be a great experiment, but how do you say no to the next bunch of nuts that want to establish a commune in the middle of a city? It’s not like Seattle is Antelope, OR.
Remember Rajneeshuram?
Inslee needs to stop engaging in Twitter wars with Trump and clean up this embarrasing mess. Here is a guy who was running for president and he can’t (or worse won’t) protect the crown jewel in his own state. Some resume.
With this precedent, how do you say No to Muslim communities practicing S’ri law?
50 Employees gone. Wonder if anyone on the city council can do the math and figure out what this means to the local economy.
I saw a list of demands from the Autonomous Zone “residents”. Item 3 is trophies for all participants because, you know, we’re all winners.
I weep for Seattle. Lived there in the 80’s, moving from central Iowa. OMG, what an amazing place. Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains, Cascades, skiing, hiking, 4 wheeling and sailing. From Mom and Pop’s to 4 star eateries, I was convinced it was home to the best seafood on the planet.
In less than 30 years, liberals turned what I thought was the most livable city anywhere into a complete, absolute cluster bomb. Blessed with a city council that is so far left AOC looks like a Reagan protege, they had no plan but they had an agenda.
Listened to the head of Seattle Police Officer Guild last night. Dude was nearly in tears. The city council and mayor have told them to stand done rather than enforce the law. No confrontations, no exceptions.
I can only hope voters fix this polls rather than voting with their feet. I’m not counting on it.
At some point – soon, I believe- adults will say enough is enough. It will not be pretty, but the pendulum will begin it’s move in the opposite direction.
I thought I had been sent to time out. I hope other T-Domers make the move. Zero chance I am paying for a membership with Scout.
First the CEB, then T-Dome. 🙁
Trump is guilty of paying his own money for a non disclosure agreement. OMG!
My bet is this will never make it to an impeachment vote in the House. Too many elected officials have dipped into federal hush fund money to risk opening this potentially large can of worms.
“..there are few things more rare than a liberal willing to discuss conservative ideas.”
Is this true, or is it perception? I find it impossible to have a discussion about conservative ideas because of exactly what you cite – Conservatives love Trump, Trump is misogynistic, racist, anti Muslim, anti -immigration, anti -environment…..blah blah blah. Since conservatives love Trump conservatives must be like trump.
