1-3 billion dollars to increase surrounding property values that only exacerbates the housing issue. Whatever they have planned to bake in to address homelessness is only to placate criticism of the project at large.
New vet so this is the only facility I’ve been to, but I’ve been pretty impressed. Building looks nice, campus is massive, all the facilities you could want. Availability for appointments can be kind of rough but you can’t beat health care for free fifty.
Man fuck SPD. I honestly went into the article trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, dealing with death on the job a bit of black humor is a coping mechanism. As much as I hate SPD I was ready for this to be a bit of that and the effected family upset while the media ran with it.
“She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.”
Duuuuude, what the fuck does that even mean. I can’t even with this shit.
In fact, as we reported exclusively, Dave was driving 74 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and struck Kandula while she was attempting to cross the street in a marked and well-lighted crosswalk.
“I think she went up on the hood, hit the windshield, then when he hit the brakes, she flew off the car. But she is dead. No, it’s a regular person. Yeah, just write a check. Yeah, $11,000. She was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”—Seattle police officer Daniel Auderer, joking with police union president Mike Solan about the death of pedestrian Jaahnavi Kandula earlier that night.
public hangings of corrupt people would fix this so fast.
How?
We can't even stop police from continuing to do their job after they murder people, how are we going to give them the death penalty? And how is the state publicly murdering people going to discourage officers of the state from murdering people?
I can understand the feeling of anger but public hanging? Come on. People who earnestly want public hanging back are troglodytic fascists.
Please move to Russia/China. We don’t do that in the civilized world. We’re better than that.
Edit: yes please downvote me for being against cruel and unusual punishment. Show everyone what kind of person you really are. I hope you get wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death so you can see how regressive your barbaric views are first hand.
I do think a lot of people already behave because they are afraid of the consequences. And we use peers to decide their fate. A mini mob if you will.
I understand what you are getting at though. I’m just not sure tolerating behavior that this story is any better. Is putting him away forever any better than the death penalty?
Komo is owned by sinclair, the right wing mega corp that owns hundreds of local news stations in different markets. The same company of "this is very dangerous to our democracy fame" that forces local anchors to read top down editorial from corporate.
No wonder they are kind to cops. Im surprised the article didn’t have a thin blue line background.
The immediate move to turn off the body camera after saying those terrible things is an admission it’s own way and speaks to the character of this person when they think no one can hold them accountable.
But he’s on his own since so many inpatient mental health facilities and beds were taken away nationwide when bad conditions were revealed during the 1970s.
I work in the field, and genuinely wonder what you think the solution is? The most visible individuals suffering from chronic mental illness and often chronic homelessness frequently don’t voluntarily engage any kind of help, whether that’s medication, housing, income, etc. When people are brought inpatient involuntarily, they may be legally mandated to take medication, and we often see their level of functioning improve significantly over time, but their insight doesn’t, and they stop meds as soon as they leave and fall back into the same pattern.
I doubt it will be anything more than drugging people to make babysitting them easier.
This is why we don’t lock up “the shirtless man shouting in the street” the first place.
We used to lock that guy up, and the places we put them were horrific. In the 70s, American society collectively decided it was better to let them back out on the street than to risk locking up sane people against their will.
Its a dilemma. We either funnel them into a horrific, underfunded system (our government will not realistically produce anything better), probably also catching a few sane people in the system along the way, or we let “the shirtless man shouting on the street” stay on the street.
Every tech job I'm applying to is asking if I'll accept being in the office 2-3 days a week. It's not like I can afford to say no, even if I preferred remote.
The employees are really shook. Things are really getting shakier in the CID, and this really amplified that sentiment. They’re thankful that the guy was in his 70s and got tired as fast as he did. Had he been a young guy and with something more serious than a sledgehammer, waiting 52 minutes could have cost someone’s life.
I talked to a real estate agent in Ocean Shores last year. She said at the time that the city's population had exploded. People realized they could earn Seattle salaries while working remote from the beach.
