>>Yup. Still this was unjustified homicide.<<
Oh, absofrickinlutely. I was just bringing it up as probable. People in downtown seattle don’t realize how small it is until they’ve been to Chicago or NYC. If that guy was a vagrant with the record he had, and the cop had been on the force in that area more than a couple of years, the cop probably very well knew who the guy was, and probably knew something of is record, as well as his being a woodcarver.
It is all just educated guess on my part, of course. I used to work downtown and would watch the cops do their thing down there. I got to know a few of them at a very “cursory” level, and I was just a downtown office puke.
Hey me too. Pioneer Square (slightly south in a tall brick one across from the old King Dome (before the earthquake.) 1998-2000. Creative company though. Seems like I did a lot of clam chowder soup bowls for lunch and watch the bums sleep and shuffle. Hey is Elliot Bay Bookstore still there? Are you working on the eastside now?
