this happened a block away from my friends' house. jesus christ

i know you guys are all gonna say "oh cops suck, i hate them" but really, this was just blatant murder.

yeah they bust up your drinking and give you some trouble, but that's their job.

So, next time you think about how much you may dislike cops, think about all they've done for you.

Recently, Seattle has been gaining a lot of press about terrible, unfortunate tragedies like this. You've probably all seen my thread from last halloween when my friend Quincy was shot and killed.

link to thread https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/392747/ and please watch the video in my signature.

Also this summer a well known kid (who i didn't actually know, but many of my friends did) named Aaron Sullivan (aka Sully) was shot and killed by an AK-47. That's ridiculous. Why should anyone own a fucking AK? In addition, another kid named Aufu was shot in the back last month and was nearly paralyzed. Also yesterday there was a shooting on Martin Luther King Way, and I'm not sure who the victim was yet, but the shooting was fatal.

Basically, I'm going on a rant about violence (especially gang violence) because it's so absolutely ridiculous. So, although I'm sure not a lot of you have participated or plan to partake in such acts, but think about what you say. I guess that's what I'm trying to tell you.

A cop was killed yesterday. Many people I know or have heard of have been killed, and i'm a white high school kid who doesn't even smoke or drink. That goes to show you that gang violence can affect people that have nothing to do with it at all.

So, R.I.P. Q, Sully, Aufu, and everyone else including the cop.

Peace,
Peter

i know where you're coming from i suppose, but your original post definitely didn't come off the right way. it seemed kind of disrespectful and i think people misunderstood your point.

dude not to be a dick but..

I watched the video in your sig and i didn't even get through 20 seconds of it. I started it thinking it was going to be really sad and shit. all of a sudden a picture of him and a fat ass blunt comes on and I just couldn't take it seriously anymore. if you're going to make a tribute video don't put pictures like that in there. I know it was who he was blah blah blah, but serious, I have no sympathy for him when there's pictures like that in there.

+vibes to the families.

But just FYI, Tacoma (just down the road from Seattle for those who don't know) held the world peace conference a couple years ago because it was the most dangerous city in the US at the time.

So no, Washington is not that much safer than the rest of the country. :(

Brian, pretty sure Seattle and Tacoma are fucking nuts. Bellingham/Ferndale on the other hand... while not SUPER DUPER white picket fence safe all the time, are really nice places to live.

Yes, just saying. The majority of WA state is much safer than other parts of the country. Of course, outside of King County the only other real metropolitan area is Spokane, outside of that it is all little towns.

no man should have the power to take another life. Not even a cop.

Ok, speaking of which, I need to get the fuck back to the west side. Seeing the barren wasteland of Spokane county for the past two months is starting to make me go insane.

Fuck yeah I am heading back. I have Thanksgiving, and the Friday after off. Don't know if I will be able to hit Baker though, bunch of non skiing friends I need to catch up with. Last day of finals week this quarter for me is December 11th. Hit Baker as much as possible over Christmas Break (OH NOES!!!! CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!! THAT IS SO NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT!!! OH NOES!!!!!)

Yeah man I understand what you're saying but there is no lesson to be learned from this.  It's just a fucking shame you know? The SPD has a sordid history and all but this is just sad.  The cop that died did throw himself in the middle of all that and that was his choice. What you said was really insensitive though and that is why people are mad at you.

it's upsetting reading stuff like this. Forget the fact that he was a cop, an innocent guy was killed for no reason at all. that just sucks

You still become a cop on purpose though.  Like, I thought about being a cop.  It would be mad fun, you could drive around really fast, carry a gun, just sort of cruise around and be a cop, pull sketchy shit, bust people.  I think it would be a really enjoyable and fulfilling job.  I just made a personal moral decision not to because cops are the armed street forces of a government that IMO is corrupt and no longer caters the the needs of the people, which should be the one and only thing it is concerned with.

I know someone whos becoming a cop though and he's one of my best friends but other than that I've never known one personally because I purposely don't associate myself with them.
