Officers pursued the Seattle driver but abandoned the chase when they learned the tents were empty and no one was injured.

Useless fucks.

Surprised they didn’t care more about the property damage than the attempted murder

They only care if it's rich peoples property

Yeah, what the fuck? The person was only looking to run people over but failed so might as well give up going after him? I'm surprised they didn't find him to try and give him a job.

Seattle used to be pretty great. I don't care for it much these days.

If people are out shooting in public, witnesses should want to come forward to talk to the cops. Kinda weird.

Think about it like this:

  • The shooters are gone and MIGHT come back.
  • The cops are there now and being homeless ain’t exactly something that cops look kindly on.

I can understand why they wouldn’t want to speak to cops; they might end up being the ones arrested or worse.
