Racist cop? No fucking way. (that's called sarcasm).
Please, this is like any other day. It's like reporting "Today is Thursday!"
ACAB. Defund the police. House the unhoused. Stop closing libraries and start firing cops.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Can't wait for all the people who opposed the new shelter in SoDo as anti-Asian racist because it was close to the CID to rally to demand this officer be fired for being actually demonstrably anti-Asian racist.

@3 If you believe all information can be accessed via technology and that libraries are obsolete there is absolutely nothing that can be said to convince you otherwise. This reasoning is just one of the many reasons why the majority of Americans are so incomprehensibly stupid, uninformed, ignorant, hate filled, corrupt, self-absorbed, and apparently content to live their lives not only believing they are informed (pure delusional fantasy), but they are free (also pure delusional fantasy).

Hill has an excuse for everything and needs all of them to cover a 20 minute interaction. I'm particularly fond of the "excited utterance" excuse. Cop has heard this phrase in court but has no idea what it means or how it possibly applies to his situation (Evidence Rule 803(2), Exceptions to the Rule Against Hearsay).

Has Hill been on paid administrative leave all this time? Oh, the travails of the accused.

Nobody cares about the smell of books. But only a tiny fraction of books - even recent ones - have ever been adequately digitized, so losing the books would be a massive cultural erasure, which is one of the main goals of Republican thinking.

Cops are theoretically valuable but in actual practice they are all liars and (mostly) fascists.

Slow news day? Rehashing a nothingburger story from last year about an interaction between an off-duty cop and his nightmare-neighbor. Maybe the SPD isn't that bad if this is the worst this site can drudge up.

People need to use some critical thinking. How long is this interaction? 20 minutes. 20 minutes?!? All recorded surreptitiously by this 'victim' as they stood in a doorway she could have been closed at any time. She was so threatened, yet she chose to not close the door, and stand there and exchange insults for 20 minutes with a recording device in her pocket, and then provide the one snippet that might yield her a payday. Think, people, beyond what opinion pieces want you to think.
