You unionized first responders really stick together! That ULEO murdered that man.

Very nice! I have had police officers threaten to arrest me while I was doing my job, because my job on EMS calls is to be a patient advocate and at times that conflicts with what their goals are.

Oh and I have never been active in the union that I was forced to join when I was hired. I have just done my job to the best of my abilities and worked to serve my community. You can make all the nasty comments you want... I am still proud of the things that I have accomplished during my career.

This thread never was about the incident that took place in Seattle... that incident was thoroughly investigated by outside agencies from all across the country... all of them looking to hang the officer. The charges you are making at this point are nothing but slanderous propaganda. The officer involved wasn't even charged with a crime.

If you actually have some new evidence I am sure that all of the agencies who thoroughly investigated this incident would love to hear from you along with the family's attorneys who have been looking for their big payday.

Today, Leading Horse costs the public the same as most other low-income seniors living in subsidized housing on Social Security, Medicaid and food aid.


Okay, so he’s on SS and Medicaid. Did the man ever have a job that entitled him to these benefits? No wonder SS is going broke. Too many that never paid a dime into it are now draining it.

Alcoholic Indians should be cared for by their own tribes. Indians enjoy the best of both “worlds”. They are treated as separate NATIONS, when it comes to having their own police, laws, casinos, selling cigarettes and booze without state taxes, etc., but when it comes to handouts, they want to dip in our nation’s treasurys. They’re raking in millions with their casinos, and can certainly afford to take care of their own. After all, if you wanna be a nation, then take care of your citizens. The nation next door doesn’t owe it to you.

Thanks fireman15.
From his mid-40s into his early 60s, he would cost taxpayers an estimated $2,407,100. The money was spent on emergency fire, police and medical care, ambulance rides, food, shelter, detox and sobering services, court and jail time, and rehabilitation efforts.
