Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Last night I stopoped by my local Safeway and noticed an SPD officer standing where he could watch and be seen near the checkout area. I usually take the presence of a professional off duty cop at a retail store as an overall bad sign of how things are going in the neighborhood, since this one policeman must cost at least as much per hour as all the checkers working late.
I talked to the manager and he said no shooting or stabbing, but just a little more bad behavior than the checkers were comfortable with.
So I looked at a brief section of my local precinct report from yeserday-
From a rainy January day in Seattle's East Precinct:
11:31AM - 331 Bellevue E. - Disturbance - Caller let a guest in to spend the night, and now the guest is refusing to leave
1:50PM - 511 Boylston Ave - Narcotics Activity - Overdose at Tashkent Park
2:55PM - Broadway & E. Pine - Disturbance - Man in QFC called 911 to report being harassed by another man in the store
2:56PM - 1400 S. Lane - Theft - Female at the front desk of Goodwill says that her classmates stole $ out of her purse after she gave them a ride
3:16PM - 23rd E. & E. Madison - Accident - Blocking, with injuries
4:30PM - 500 22nd Ave - Property Damage - A resident with schizophrenia is off his meds and broke a window in the common area
4:32PM - E. Denny Way & Melrose Ave E - Assault - A male is shoving a female
5:31PM - Harvard E. & E. Harrison - Assault - Man assaulted by another man who entered a nearby apartment afterwards. The assailant was accompanied by a dark pit bull.
I guess some of these folks need a vacation to Cozumel
Ha
